Here's a little bit about the Fundraising from an earlier post back in December:
Team in Training (my marathon training group) is a part of the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society. We are all raising funds to help stop Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Myeloma.
We have honored teammates training with us who either currently have the
disease, or are in remission.
I don't really know our honored teammates too well yet, but I did know George Guzman. George was an Art Director at Nickelodeon who I got to know through work. He lost his battle with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma a few years ago. He was a lot of fun, and we all miss him.
Everyone has been affected by cancer in some way, and I am happy to raise
funds for this cause. If you would like to support me in my fund raising, please
visit my fundraising page!

I have committed to raise $2600 to run in this marathon, but my personal
goal is to raise $3000. If I raise $2600, 75% goes directly to the mission or
research (which is pretty great for a non-profit organization). For every dollar
I raise over $2600, 100% of it goes to the mission or research.
$25 could pay for 1 patient's chemotherapy drug prescription co-payment.
$50 could register 1 person to be a bone marrow donor.
$75 could provide HLA (bone marrow) typing for a family member of a patient with leukemia.
I'll do the running, and you can cheer me on by supporting me and this
wonderful cause. All donations are 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE!
Maybe $1 per mile? (26.2 miles people!)
Or $30 - in honor of my upcoming 30th birthday?
No donation is too small or too large :)
