Brooke Williams' Team in Training Pledge Page
Well I did it. I finished my first marathon. Check out my diary entry for a recap.
You Rock! ------------------------------------------------- We met our fundraising goal! ------------------------------------------------- Look for your name on the contributor page if you were able to donate. My name is Brooke Williams. I set up this site as part of my involvement with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. First I would like to reiterate that a MARATHON is indeed a full 26.2 miles. As a member of Team in Training I have committed to train for the San Diego, Rock'n'Roll Marathon June 1, 2003. More importantly, I have committed to raising money ($3,800 to be exact) for cancer research. Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns that they have leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma - that's nearly 300 people a day. An estimated 106,700 people in the United States will be diagnosed with one of these diseases this year. Leukemia is the number one killer of children under the age of 14! I totally understand if you are unable to send financial support, please pass this information to anyone who might be interested or send me your words of support. I will also accept running company, so anyone up for a long run give me a call. Thanks for your support & GO TEAM! Love, Brooke (Click on the donate link to the left to pledge your support!)
