Welcome to my Team In Training home page. I am fundraising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! I am going to run a half marathon in Disney World in January 2014! This is such a great cause!


What Will My Donation Do?
Encourage scientists to pursue blood cancer research. Grants to young scientists help grow research talent.
Develop "targeted therapies" that kill cancer cells selectively. By hitting specific molecular targets, these treatments don't harm patients' healthy cells, resulting in fewer dangerous side effects.
Test immunotherapies. Immunotherapies strengthen a patient's own immune system so it can better fight infections and attack cancer cells, reducing the need for damaging chemotherapy.
Improve the safety of today's cures. LLSC funds research to predict, manage and prevent complications in patients most at risk for long-term and late effects of treatment.
Help patients and their families make informed decisions. LLSC supplies information and counseling to help guide patients through their cancer journey and access current treatment and clinical trial options.
Offer community services. Among the wide array of programs LLSC provides are those that link newly diagnosed patients with trained volunteers and that help young cancer patients return to school after an absence resulting from treatment.
Encourage our provincial and federal legislators to support blood cancer issues. With your help, LLSC brings to the attention of lawmakers the urgent need for patient access to affordable treatment and quality care.

I am training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I’m completing this event in honour 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 LLSC’s mission.

I hope you’ll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress.

Thanks for your support!
