Need to reach that goal.

Ok, so maybe I gave you the wrong idea with my first post! A few days ago, in my post, I said this:
"Now I know that I don't have a lot of "extra" money (who does?) to donate to any of these research organizations..."

Well when I said "who does", I wasn't talking about you :) Here's why:

In order to compete in this triathlon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society/Team in Training, I need to raise $4,400. 75% of this money will go towards cures for blood cancers like leukemia -- the No. 1 disease killer of children -- lymphoma and myeloma.

**How serious is blood cancer? Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns that he or she has leukemia, Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma. Every ten minutes, someone dies of a blood cancer.**





The Society's roots stretch back to 1949, when the de Villiers family experienced the devastation of leukemia with the death of their 16-year-old son, Robert Roesler de Villiers. Family members and friends declared war on the disease by creating The Robert Roesler de Villiers Foundation, funding research to find a cure. The foundation later became The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Our mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Team In Training® History
Team In Training (TNT) began in 1988, when Bruce Cleland of Rye, NY formed a team that raised funds and trained to run the New York City Marathon in honor of Cleland's daughter Georgia, a leukemia survivor.

The team of 38 runners raised $322,000 for the Society's Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter. Because of the pioneering efforts of Cleland and the Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, Team In Training was born and has grown into the world's largest endurance sports training program. Cleland was honored by Runner's World magazine in 2004 as one of their "Heroes of Running" for his role in establishing TNT.




So, I am part of this mission now! And in order to reach my goals, I need YOUR help. Any money that you can spare (even if it's just a couple dollars) I would really appreciate it. If you would like to help me, please go here>>
