Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Congratulations, Suzanne. I looked at your website, and anyone who can do a half ironman is amazing in my book--especially a survivor in treatment every day! I'm also training and fundraising now for my 10th marathon with Team in Training. Doing these races validates in my own mind that I am strong and able and it's empowering to be able to give back to others. Having raised over $190,000 over the past 10 years for the LLS through Team in Training (I'm very proud of that) my husband and I were hoping to reach the $200,000 mark this year, but given that our event is on June 19, it looks like we won't quite make that goal. We are still working hard to achieve it, though. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO FINDING A CURE AND MAKING LIVES EASIER! YOU ARE A HERO! " We must be the change we wish to see in the world.
