About Me

I'm currently training for the June Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego! No, I didn't have a life goal of run a marathon ...and I'm not a very good runner.... But I am very VERY excited about this. We are training with Team in Training, a program through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and concurrently raising money for the society. Our goal is to raise $10,000. Yep, thats a TON of money. So come on, join our team, and lets cure those dang cancers already!
