Setting Goals

Hi Friends,

I have set a goal of raising $1500.00 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help find a cure for blood cancer. To reach this goal and help make a difference I need you to help me. Click the link to the right of this post that says Donate Today and add your name to the list of people that have given. Any amount will help, from $5.00 to the full $1500.00. I am running and training hard and will be in Eugene to represent Team in Training.

Thank you in advance for your support!

What is Team in Training?

Hi Friends,

Found this coolio video that tells a bit about what Team in Training is trying to accomplish. I hope you will check it out, maybe be moved and then consider donating to my team. Remember, together we can make a difference!

Hi Friends, It seems the widget on the right side of this page that helps you find the donation page for me is not working all the time. I will work that little problem out, but in the mean time here is a direct link.

The 3rd Annual New Years McLoop Run 23.5 Miles

Hi Friends,

I can't believe in 1 week I will run 23.5 miles around Reno and Sparks. I am looking forward to running with a group of local runners in the 3rd Annual New Years Day McLoop Run. It will be the biggest challenge so far for my running and it should be great.

I will be able to get a pretty good idea of what I need to do to get in shape for the Eugene Marathon in April. I know I can finish the 23.5 miles but am pretty sure I will be out of service on the 2nd. Probably with my feet in the air and some sore legs.

So if you see a group of runners out on McCarran Blvd on January 1st, honk, wave or yell out some encouragement. They are celebrating the New Year with a great run and marking a major New Year resolution off their list.

Welcome to The Team

Hi Friends,

I'm training to run my first marathon at the Eugene Marathon in Eugene, Oregon on April 28, 2013. It has been my dream to participate in a marathon for quite a while. Earlier this year I completed my first half marathon in Minden, NV and now I am on to the full marathon.

Although completing a full marathon is my personal goal, I am truly excited to be running for a much bigger purpose.

I have decided to become a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing my marathon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Every donation helps!!! You can see the link on the top of the right side of this blog. Just click the box and it will take you to a page that allows you to make a donation of any amount.

I plan to update this page throughout my training so please save this page as a favorite and check back often.

Thank You for Joining Me in this Journey to Help Others!!!

Don
