ive never been much of a "blogger" but after setting marathon dreams and then getting the opportunity to run one, i figured "hey why not take my friends and family along for the ride?" with that being said, dont worry, you wont have take part in any of the actual running (unless of course you want too!)
this website was set up to let you track my training and fundraising progress, feel my pain and suffering and the highs and lows along the way and of course cheer me and my fellow teammates on to the finish line!
now about those teammates... if you havent received a letter from me in the mail or your inbox yet, expect one soon! i am running the nike women's marathon on october 18th in san fransicso as a team member of the leukemia and lymphoma society's team in training. this dedicated group of individuals is on a mission to raise money and find a cure of blood cancers. team in training has raised millions of dollars over the years to put up a tough fight against these diseases and its not over yet.
i hope that you will join in the fight and support our efforts. there are several ways to make a donation but the easiest way is online. you can visit my fundraising page and click on the "donate now" icon on the right hand side of the page to get started! there is no such thing as a small donation. every penny, nickel, dime at quarter are appreciated and pushes us one stride closer to a cure!
alright enough blabbing its time to start RUNNING! i hope you check back often!
xx, ao
