I initially partnered with Blood Cancer United (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) over 20 years ago via the Team In Training (TNT) program while training for my third marathon. I ran in memory of my Aunt Sue, who had passed away from complications of lymphoma. Her illness was a reminder to me that every mile I get to run in my lifetime is a privilege.
Since then, I have participated in several other Team In Training endurance events, including an Olympic distance triathlon and a century bike ride. This year, I am closing in on a BIG endurance goal that I have been working toward for the past 21 years: completing a full marathon in all 50 states. As this goal comes to a close, I have set a fundraising goal of $10,000 to support the Blood Cancer United mission. I have now finished 49 states and will wrap up in Wyoming later this month!
