One of my brother's co-workers is going to be running the Adidas Dublin (Ireland) marathon for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training.
She is doing this in my honor. When I found out I was beyond touched.
She's trying to raise $5800. I'd love it if she could meet her goal.
My goal is to raise $5,800. Over 75% of your tax-deductible contribution is used for research, patient services and education. Please make as generous a donation as you can to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.
Here is a link to her site. Even a few dollars start to add up. I appreciate any donations you can give. If you can't donate, please spread the word!!!!

Thanks!
P.S. Claudia also does TNT triathalons and marathons. Please donate to these amazing women!
I think the link is great, it says it all about Lymphoma, leukemis and myeloma's they are tough diseases but not unbeatable. You are living proof. Your brother works with a good bunch of people. i will sign up/donate when i get home from work.
I hope you meet and or beat the expected amount.
Peace
I've added my 2 cents.
Go Patty! and thanks!
That is AWESOME. My friend, Courtney, runs for the same cause!

$800 collected so far, how cool is that. I know you and your team are going to meet the goal.
lets keep the "doe" rolling in for a great cause, every penny counts. Your team needs to help find cure for all of the Leukemia's and Lymphoma's
Peace
Hi Deb~
I came across another fighter, but she seems to be giving up. Maybe you can head on over there and give her some encouragement?
I hope that link works. If not go to Carepages.com and her name is Stephanie Mullennix.
Thanks Deb! I love your strength ... you are such an inspiration!

Now you have to get all healthy and buff so that you can do a tri with TNT.

I donated and it didn't hurt a bit.
Common folks for the price of a couple of pizza and a six pack of soda you too can make a donation. Or in my case for the price of a pizza and a soda in Hawaii. Anyway it's a good ting to do.

I can't believe Patti is up to $1045.00 that great considering you just posted the link yesterday. I hope and think she is going to beat her goal.
peace
Deb--
Here's a list of cool and rather inexpensive things to do in San Antonio:
1.) The McNay Art Museum--good for picnics too
2.) the Ghost Tracks (do it w Zoe--it's cool!)
3.) Read a book by the Riverwalk
4.) Witte Museum
5.) San Antonio Art Museum
6.) Jeff's puffy taco place--totally evil, but worth it on occasion
7.) Botanical Gardens
8.) McAlister Park for a bar-b-que
9.) S.A. Kids Museum
10.) The Flying Saucer (for beers and Spurs games)
11.) There are also some cool places to hang out just south of downtown, but I can't remember the names. Coffee bars and restaurants.
12.) I'll think of more.
I'm glad this is working out. Anyone in Austin want to go to Patty's fundraiser at an "authentic" East Austin cantina, please email me. Go Deb. Hope to see you more often in San Antonio!
