Hola Dear Friends & Loved Ones!!!
On June 21st I'm running The Mayor's Marathon in Alaska to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I'm a chunky Upstate New York gal livin' in LA. IT AIN'T GONNA BE EASY!!! :)
I still have $2200 more to go in my goal to reach $5000!
To donate, click here: Mandi's Team In Training Page
.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is a cause I'm proud to support. They were named by Money Magazine as one of the top ten charities for having the highest percentage of funds raised that directly benefit research and patient services. If you'd like to help me raise these funds and help countless others who are the recipients of these donations, please feel free to check out my donation website below. I continue to meet people that have been affected by this disease so to raise more money for such a great organization makes me super happy! :)
Thanks again, I love you all and please keep in touch!! :)
Much Love and God Bless, Mandi
P.S. Special thanks to Cory “Boomer” Mitchell and Jennifer “Love” Heater for getting me into this and being my inspirational champs. Owwwrurruru!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Uplifting, positive people that will encourage me and inspire me and send me great healthy recipes that you'll end up cooking for me cause you love me and not because it was my idea or that I've guilted you into it at all. :)
