Team In Training

You'll be hearing more about this from me as time goes on. I'm training for a marathon through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in memory of my aunt Mary (Sig) who passed away last fall. The deal is that the branch of the LLS called Team In Training trains me and sends me to the marathon in return for me raising a set amount of money for them. The Society uses the money for research and a good portion goes to families in need, an aspect that I really like.

I'm going to be running the Dublin marathon in, yes, Dublin. I'm really excited about it, but I have to raise $6700, which kind of makes me want to puke. Could I have picked a worse economic climate to do fundraising in? Oh, well. People don't get to pick when they get sick...

Anyway, the LLS has given me my own fundraising page. So here it is:

Official training begins May 9th, but I've been huffing around Texas for the last few weeks to get a jump start. Ugh.
