Leukemia Fundraiser

[mableach]

Team In Training is a training organization in this country serving the needs of athletes who need training support while raising money in support of Leukemia research. I recently decided to join this organization and become a part of the team that is now training for The Mayor’s Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska taking place on June 23rd. As a part of joining this amazing team, I pledged to raise a minimum of $4,300. Being the over-achiever I am, I decided to make my goal $5,000.

I have always been an athlete; I have played all types of sports including soccer, lacrosse, basketball, softball, rugby, and of course, track. While this is my first attempt at long-distance running, besides a few 10k’s, I have the drive and the discipline to reach my goals, both physically and mentally. At 21 years old, I am a third-year student at Susquehanna University majoring in Business with University Honors. While I am still young and have a busy schedule, I have a dream to run at least 5 marathons in my life time. This will be my first one. Over the course of 6 months (I began training in January), I will follow a rather strict diet and exercise plan which will guarantee that I am able to complete this marathon in June. My goal time is 4 hours and as of right now in my training, I am right on target.

Physically, I am fully prepared to take on this challenge. Financially, I have to go beyond my own abilities to reach my goal. This is why I would like to ask the community to help me accomplish my goals by providing funds through my online page:
