On January 18th, 2009, Becky and Casey will be taking our friendship to the road and running a combined 39.3 miles in Phoenix, AZ to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT)! We need to raise $7,600 by December, and that's where you come in! We will be blogging here as we train so that you can be part of the experience. Please click on our fundraising links to the right for additional information.

8 miles
No, not the Eminem movie, but how far I ran yesterday. (With new friend Theresa, who is pushing me to new heights.) Go me!
As a Team in Training participant (and your running buddy!) there is an indescribable feeling that comes from the energy and excitement associated with being part of the Team. As a campaign manager for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, I cannot begin to describe the impact that you are making in the lives of blood cancer patients and their families. Every year, in our chapter alone, hundreds of TNT participants come together to raise over a million dollars for our mission to find a cure and to improve the quality of life for those who endure the diagnosis, treatments, transplants, remissions and losses. While I happen to personally enjoy your smiling face at 6 am, it makes it that much more rewarding to know that every mile you run and every dollar you raise means the world to so many families going through their own marathon of treatment. It is my sincerest hope that everyone who reads about your journey through training is inspired by your dedication and selflessness. GO TNT!!!
