GO TEAM!!!

May 29, 2012

        I am training to walk/run in the Mayor’s Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska on June 23, 2012. I know you think “Wow, Jennifer is doing a marathon.” And” I can’t believe how good she looks and how healthy she is becoming." I am walking to prove others that morbid obese people can accomplish anything they set their mind to.     I will be walking 13.5 mile race and raise funds to and awareness for research leading to a cure for leukemia and related cancers. Over the next 4 months I will be training hard getting ready for my 13.5 mile race. During this time I am also raising funds to help support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s mission to find a cure for blood cancers. All the while promoting a better-healthier lifestyle for myself and others. I am walking in honor of my co-worker Kirsten Kirk, a cancer victim, who is now going through treatment. I also walk in honor of all Type I and Type II Diabetics. Leukemia is a cancer of the body’s blood forming and immune systems; it affects the blood forming tissues, such as lymphatic tissues, bone marrow and spleen. It appears as uncontrolled, abnormal blood cells. The cause of leukemia remains unknown. However, the effectiveness of recently developed treatment methods and steady advances in research bring us closer every day to finding the cause and probable cure of leukemia and related cancers.   My goal is to raise $2,500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society, as well as to finish the race in front of my Dad and Kirsten. 75% of every dollar I raise will directly support research for a cure and provide financial assistance to families in our country struggling with the financial burden of treatment.    I have made a commitment to run/walk this marathon and bring us 13.5 miles closer to providing hope, peace, and freedom to individuals battling blood cancer. I am hopeful you will join me in the fight against blood cancer. You can help by visiting:   http://pages.teamintraining.org/wa/anchor12/jenniferdwhite   And donating generously to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Every bit counts!   Donations are tax deductible.
