As most of you may already know (and some may be surprised to find out) I am currently training to participate in the Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon in Alaska as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training for North Texas.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this marathon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers.

Please join me in my pledge to help save lives! I hope you check back frequently on my diary entries and photo albums to follow my training for the marathon and get to know a couple of little heroes who were dignosed with Leukemia.
