Alexis' Marathon Training

I am training to run the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco in October. I am raising money for Team In Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This is documenting my progress in both training and informing people of fundraising events.

Team Cure

This October we will be running in the Nike Women's Marathon held in San Francisco, California. This race is organized by Team in Training, the number one financial supporter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. By raising money and completing the marathon we will be partnering with Team in Training in support of funding for blood cancer research. As a partner, each of us need to raise $4,000.

A local Lymphoma survivor is one of our official Team Heroes. Less than a year after his diagnosis, he was sent home from the hospital to spend his last months with his family. He fully expected to die. But, due to the millions of dollars raised for blood cancer research, a new drug was discovered that sent him into remission within weeks. He is now cancer free!

We realize that raising a combined total of $16,000 is a huge endeavor, yet hearing the stories of survivors like our team hero motivate us. Please join with us in raising money to support the important work being done at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Thank You for your support,

Jessica Kinzie, Jessica Boyles, Alexis Moretti, Danielle Roser
