That's me!
I will not be writing this weekend. Why? I am participating in the San Diego Rock n’ Roll Marathon. So drop me a comment and wish me luck!
This isn’t about me being all athletic. In fact, I expect to finish wayyy last!
This is about my commitment to fight blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
I run-walk-mostly-walk my way through 26.2 miles with Team in Training, a program of the Luekemia and Lymphoma Society. Far too many people in my life have either passed on from these cancers or are still fighting, so this is the little bit that I can do.
Don’t feel sorry for me. This is a party marathon! 25,000 runners, a live rock n roll band every half mile, 20,000 high school cheerleaders from all over the place competing for a prize, and 150 Elvis look-a-likes running all 26.2 miles in white spandex and wigs! (It’s some Guinness Book of World Records thing).
My Corporate Sponsors are ABSi Corporation, which is my full-time employment, and HealthyPetNet, for whom I am an independent rep. They both donated at the $1,000 level or higher so their URL or logo will appear on 200 of this season’s race jerseys.
If you have a personal connection to these cancers or wish to sponsor my next marathon, which will be the Denver Marathon in October 2009, please click over to my Team in Training website to make a donation. Any amount will be appreciated, you don’t have to donate at the corporate level!
Thank you so much for supporting and encouraging my pet food blogging. See you when I get back.
