Hey, are you on the fence about joining Team in Training?

Are you thinking I can?t run farther than I drive to work! Or How will I ever raise thousands of dollars?my friends can barely pay their bills! Well the same concerns danced through my head last year. Then I took the plunge and signed up. It was the best thing I have ever done.
 
Team In Training guided me every step of the way. When I explained that I couldn?t run ONE mile when I signed up, they assured me I would cross the finish line. Guess what? I did!

When I was 3.5 I had leukemia. I was one of the honored heroes that you see on the homepage of TNT. I used to be the one that runners looked to for inspiration. I went through 27 months of chemotherapy?that?s over 2 years! At one point my body was so weak I had to be carried up the stairs. It is because of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that I am alive. The research funded, the treatments, and the support for my family helped save my life. This past summer, as I was in the middle of training for a full marathon, I celebrated 24 years of being cancer free.
 
If you think you can?t do this, I am LIVING proof that you can. That you NEED to. Listen, I am not joking when I say I couldn?t run 1 mile. But I trained. I trained hard. And I crossed that finish line never once questioning if I would make it to the end. I KNEW I would.
 
How did I raise money? I asked EVERY single person I had ever come in contact with. I used my Facebook page, I sent out hard copy letters, and I told my friends to tell their friends, and tell their friends friends. It worked. I raised over $21,000 for the organization that helped save my life.
 
If you are on the fence let me (gently ?) throw you over to the other side. Because when you get there, you will be a part of a life changing experience for you, and a lifesaving experience for someone in treatment right now.
 
If you are still on the fence, call me. Seriously, call me. Let?s talk about your concerns and find the event that is best for you.
