Running my first 1/2 Marathon before the big 3-0

chaparra81

I started walking when I joined this site on February 10, 2011 since then I have done a couple of 5K...I am going for the big one 1/2 Marathon for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training. I want to accomplish something before I turn 30 this year. I am doing this in Memory of my Aunt that Lymphoma took from us in 1998 and for the society that supported me when I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin lymphoma in November of 2007 and received radiation through January 2008. Please share link with friends and family.....

Best of luck with your half! Thank you for running for such a great cause. My son (he's three now) was diagnosed with leukemia last June and have since met several others in the same boat. It sounds like you are doing great and your prognosis is good. Not only are you a survivor, you are a warrior!!

:'''( I have 3 sons and can't imagine your pain. Much love and positive thoughts your way. God is great and helps us get through things that we can't begin to understand. I never considered myself to be sick or even discussed it much until today!!!
