I am very excited to announce that I am training for another event with Team in Training this summer! I will run my first marathon on June 26, 2010, the Seattle Rock n' Roll Marathon! As an added bonus, I am acting as the Mission Captain for this season's marathon team. It is my job to help people share their personal connections to those who have or are battling blood cancers. I also remind teammates of why we fundraise: to further the mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of improving the lives of those with blood cancers, and continuing to research cures! I feel fortunate to have this important role to talk with teammates and to help share their sometimes sad, but always inspirational stories. I train, as before, in honor of my good buddy, Bjorn. I run in his memory, and especially to further research toward a cure for multiple myeloma, which he battled so bravely. Beej, I miss your unmatched wit and humor, your truthful insight, and watching football with you (you would have loved the Super Bowl this year!)
Please join me in the fight against blood cancers. I'll be updating this blog with stories of my training and of my team's progress. You can help today by clicking on the link to my donation website, and giving (no matter how much) to help this worthy cause. Every little bit helps!
