Marathon!

Hey everyone -
I know that this page is about Sarah and Molly, however I've decided to join Team in Training to run a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and need your help. People are diagnosed with these types of cancer everyday, and the faster we find a cure, the less likely someone we know, even our own children, will suffer from these cancers. Anyways, I have joined this cause in honor of a local man who grew up near me, lived in my community, and died at the age of 28. His name is Ryan Waldheger and I've decided to run in his honor because he had a great vision and an amazing strength throughout his short life. I would love for you to read more about him at his website, www.rwrm.org to see why I am so personally committed to finding a cure.
In addition, I need help in raising money towards new research in the race to find a cure. I know we all hate to ask for money, but every little bit helps, and I would appreciate your support immensely! To make things easier, I have set up my own website where you can donate directly online! Please stop by to check my training progress and to donate towards a cure!

Thank you in advance for your well wishes and prayers! I know this will be a tough thing to accomplish - 26.2 miles is no day in the park- but just think of what others are going through in their own battle with leukemia. Please Help.
