Billy

Feeling totally helpless when my cousin Janet was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma I got involved with Light The Night in 2006. I realized I could make a difference by fundraising.

In 2010 I decided to step up my fundraising by cycling 100 miles around Lake Tahoe by participating in America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride with Team In Training. Quite a challenge for a 55 year old ex smoker!

What was supposed to be a one and done event will now be my 6th time around Lake Tahoe and my 10th Team In Training event. My goal is to be over $60,000 lifetime fundraising by the end of the ride.

In memory of my nephew Charles "Bo" Jackson our family is committed to an unending relationship with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). In Charles' memory we participate in Light The Night Walks, Big D Climbs, and volunteer at various events. 

In March 2017 I traveled to New York to complete my third marathon - this time with United Airlines NYC Half. Charlie’s battle with leukemia ended when he was only nineteen but in that time Charles enriched the lives of many with tremendous love, laughter, courage, and the most beautiful smile imaginable. It is with great honor that I participate in the LLS Team in Training program.

In the picture shown was my first half marathon in Washington. In my hands - which were there the whole run - are what our family calls "Love Rocks". While Charles was in the hospital whoever entered the room would have to paint or write on a rock to express their love. So in one hand is one that he painted and in the other is one that I painted. My Inspiration!!!

I thank Team in Training and LLS for giving me and outlet for the love that I carry for my nephew. THANK YOU!!!

Jennifer Swanton

During a sports physical Jennifer was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 15. Instantly her life changed. Jennifer went from being an active freshman in high school to living in a hospital room, constantly nauseated, losing her hair, suffering through multiple spinal taps, chemotherapy, taking 60 pills a day and enduring a bone marrow transplant. But Jennifer survived.

Jennifer believes it is her purpose to make a difference in the lives of others. By partnering with Team In Training she has raised $45K for LLS and completed a marathon, triathlon and century ride – a TNT triple crown! Jennifer has only just begun fulfilling her mission and wants to inspire others to not only survive, but live their lives to the fullest.

The impact of LLS-supported research goes beyond blood cancers. Approximately 40 percent of new cancer therapies approved by the FDA since 2000 were first approved for a blood cancer – which have led to breakthrough treatments for other cancers and serious diseases.
