I probably don't need to tell you how serious cancer is...these days everyone has someone close to them who has been affected by this awful disease. When it comes to blood cancers did you know that every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer and every 10 minutes someone dies? Leukemia is the #1 disease killer of children. You can make a difference by joining me and training for a full or half marathon this winter season - info meetings start this week and kick off is August 14! To learn more about what awesome events are this coming season check out the events page.
I also want to update you on one of our honored heros from Winter 2010 season...Philip. Remember him from my post last season? Well Philip had his port removed yesterday and that means he is at the end of his treatment. And to top it off he was a big brother earlier this summer. Lots of good things happening for Philip and his family...God Bless them all.
Children like Philip are why I stay committed to Team in Training. Seeing them reach this milestones and live a healthy life is the ultimate reward for all the long miles and sweat that goes into training.
I look forward to meeting new participants and honored heros this season.
GO TEAM!
