We Did It!
Thank you :)
Some friends have called me "stupid" but I believe it's more stubbornness that led me to cross the 42 km finish line with a stress fracture in my right leg. At the half-way mark, I took the rest of my pain meds and decided to keep going. There are worse things than pain.
The marathon has been a great experience to cultivate courage and determination. I have been deeply moved and inspired by my friends. Debbie had never run before and completed a half-marathon for me. My friend Roslyn's toenails had just grown back from her first marathon and still she ran a full marathon for me. I met complete strangers that stopped on the marathon route to let me know that they were running the marathon for me and others like me with cancer. It was a wonderful experience.
I thank you all very sincerely for all of your support and encouragement, donations and love. love sue
This April I was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma which is a rare cancer. Although there is no cure, I continue with UVB treatments in Inuvik. While I'm still feeling well, it was an easy decision to participate in the Team in Training to help others with blood cancers.
Facing cancer is like facing the training for a full marathon. I've never done either before, and am respectful of the endurance, self-motivation and courage needed to persevere for both. I am confident that I can do it with your help.

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLSC’s mission. Thanks for any contribution that you can provide.
I'll continue to update my web site as we get closer to the race.
Thanks again for your support!
