Hello and welcome my TNT home page!

I originally began this journey in May 2003 by joining the TEAM IN TRAINING (TNT) program. All was going as planned when I was “sidelined” at the halfway point with back surgery 8/03 and subsequent recovery. Once I “graduated” from intense physical therapy, I began supporting my husband Mike’s TNT efforts. After walking (!) the last 6.2 miles with him at the Austin Motorola Marathon (2/15/04), I realized that I too wanted to cross the finish line…not just for myself, but also with TNT to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives!

As of May 2004, I rejoined TEAM IN TRAINING (TNT). I have challenged myself to complete the Nike Half Marathon October 24, 2004…that's 13.1 miles. Am I crazy? No! This is about doing something I believe can and will make a difference in the lives of those with these blood-related cancers fighting to live! By finding the cure! Compared to their battle, 13.1 miles is nothing. My individual goal is to raise at least $3500 to further the help in finding the cure for leukemia and lymphoma. If the money I raise helps even just one person with a blood-related cancer, then my personal mission will have had a successful start.

Please take a moment to visit my website and meet our Honored Heroes. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress as I will update it often with pictures of my training and fundraising events with the Dallas Metro Team. In addition, I will be keeping a diary there of this journey for you to follow along. Be sure to sign my guest book so I know that you stopped by to visit. Most important, please visit the donation page and donate...invest! It’s where you and I can make a positive difference. ALL DONATIONS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE AND ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
