….in a good way!!
[Full disclosure – this post is in no way library-related. If you wish to stop reading now, I won’t hold it against you!]
I am currently training to run the Nike Half-Marathon in San Francisco on October 19th. My aunt, Alice, is also training to run the Nike Half-Marathon. My brother, Chris, is showing us both up by training to run the full Nike Marathon (that’s 26.2 miles folks!). I’m not affiliated with any group – just doing this one on my own – but Alice & Chris are both running with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training.
We’re all running, and they’re fundraising, in honor of my parents, Mick & Gloria Gick, both of whom have struggled with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. While my mom has been in remission and doing well for quite some time (thank goodness), my dad died this April after a valiant nine-year battle with the cancer. Raising money to help LLS is one of the things we felt we could do to help find treatments and cures so others won’t have to face the same loss in the future.
I’ve run with Team in Training before – they’re a terrific organization and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is simply fantastic. But this time around I’m taking the easy route (trust me, the running is much easier than the fundraising) and I thought the least I could do to help Chris in his efforts was to post his TnT website here. If anyone feels so inclined (and please don’t feel in any way obligated), donations to his fundraising efforts would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
