Allison and I are starting to train for a 5 miler at the end of May. We will be running in Boston’s Run to Remember with the Leukemia and Lymphoma society’s Team in Training. This is an amazing organization that helps train athletes while raising money to fight blood cancers.
We found out about Team in Training through our amazing friend Michelle who, after being diagnosed with diabetes decided that she wanted to run a marathon. Michelle became part of Team in Training in DC and is running the Rock and Roll Marathon at the end of April. We are so proud of her and pretty jealous of her amazing TNT stories, so we decided we wanted a part of the action.
So here is the deal: 2 girls, 8 weeks, 5 miles each, $1000.
Allison and I will be following a strict training schedule including team runs on Sundays. We will also be raising $1,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.
Want to help us out? Here are some easy ways to get involved:
- Donate to our team…every little bit helps, it is tax deductible, and for a great cause.http://pages.teamintraining.org/ma/RunToRem10/TeamBethAllison
- Send a link to your friends asking them to donate to our team…again if we can get 50 people to donate $20 we will meet our goal of supporting LLS. http://pages.teamintraining.org/ma/RunToRem10/TeamBethAllison
- Send us encouraging emails, texts, and phone calls. We are out of shape. Running is hard. Fund raising is harder. We will need support from y’all.
- Look into Team in Training in your area and get involved.
We love Y’all and can’t wait to share our story with you.
