Welcome! Guess what I'm up to now...
I'm training to participate in a 26.2 mile marathon in San Francisco, CA on October 19, 2008.
But I'm not alone. I'm a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
I've created a website (pages.teamintraining.org/mi/nikesf08/ehughes) to securely accept donations to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. (For more information about LLS and the great work they do, go to www.lls.org.)
This blog is designed to help you keep track of my progress preparing for the marathon. I hope you will visit often to see my progress.
Thanks for your support!
