26 Or Bust!

To date $159,387.45 has been raise by everyone training for the Nashville marathon through Team in Training in New York City! My personal total is already up to $2480. Thank you so much to everyone that has supported the cause through donations online, by mail, at the happy hour or simply by stopping by my desk. You are the reason our team has been so successful and already raised so much for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

With two months remaining until our April 26th race day, there’s plenty of time left to donate and help support blood cancer research and patients. If we’ve raised this much already, I can’t imagine how much we’ll be able to raise by then.

Thank you again to everyone that has helped us reach this point.

Thank you so much to everyone that came out for last night’s Cocktails for a Cause! We raised over $450 dollars and are already planning the next happy hour event. I’ll be sure to let you know as soon as the date is set and the bar is booked.

It was a fantastic night and I look forward to another night out with everyone, raising a glass for cancer research.

Thanks again for your support!

Tonight is my happy hour charity event to raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Hope to see you there!

It’s day two of the new year and week five of a new me. The miles will start to increase this week with a six to seven mile run on Saturday and then there’s no looking back. It really will be 26 or bust as I start building up to running 26.2 miles. That’s something I never thought I’d be able to do. Who am I kidding, I never thought I’d be able to run six miles! Saturday will mark my first major…well…first. It will be the first time in training that I can look at what I’ve done and say, “I never thought I’d be able to do that, but I just did.” The thought of that is down right amazing to me and has me psyched to head to the park Saturday morning. May this feeling of optimism and wonder last me through all six miles!

Speaking of things I never thought I’d be able to do, I’m closing in on the $600 mark in my fundraising. Yes, it’s still a few dollars short of my $6000 goal, but it’s more than I’ve ever raised before. Thank you to everyone that’s supported me already!

If you haven’t yet contributed, what better way to kick off the new year than with a donation to aid patients battling cancer? Just consider it fulfilling a new year’s resolution of helping others. January won’t even be over and you’ll be able to honestly say that you did see through on at least one resolution this year. Won’t that be a nice change?
