I honestly must say that training for this marathon has been a very challenging experience for me. I literally hate to run. Even though it has been really tough physically,just knowing that I am making a difference in the fight for a cure for blood cancers makes it worth the pain. The challenges I have yet to face are nothing compared to the challenges that the many people that have these blood cancers face every day. My goal is to raise $1500.00 before the marathon on April 18,2004. Please visit the donation page to see how you can help me in the fight to save lives and find a cure for cancer. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my Pledge Page.I try to update everything on a weekly basis but sometimes things get a little crazy and I can not update as often as I would like, so check back soon for new stuff.
