So, if you ready my facebook "25 Things" you would find out that one of my life goals is to "run" (complete, really) a marathon. Well, yesterday I was presented with a unique opportunity to do so. We had an organization called Team in Training come and speak to us about opportunities to work with them.
In case you are not familiar with them, TNT is a part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, " the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services," according to their website. As a TNT participant, I will not only complete the San Diego Marathon on May 31, but I will also commit to raising $3500 for the foundation, 75% of which will go straight to research and patient care. I will also receive training classes and coaching so that I am able to be successful at my goal of completing the marathon.
I will begin seeking support in the next couple of days. It's quite scary, but I am excited to see people continue to give their money to help others. I am blessed to be a part of such a group!

About Me
- Lindsay
- I am newly married living in Phoenix, AZ away from most of my family. I miss them terribly, but am so happy I'm out here. This is where I should be. I am currently on the road to becoming a healthier version of myself. I constantly have to be reminded that this is not about the number on the scale, but about how I feel and becoming a better and healthier me.
