Well, here I am. I have been thining about what I should say. What do I want people to know about me and my dedication to the Team in Training program. All that I can think of is...I am so excited to be a part of this!! I have spent many hours training, organizing my fundraising campaign, and volunteering for this cause. And I feel better and better with every minute.

Many times when I tell people that I am running a marathon, they respond with,"What!! are you crazy?? Why would you do that to yourself???" My response is always the same. "I feel incredibly lucky to have the ability to run for these people. They can't do it for themselves, and isn't that the point?"

I hope that whomever is reading this gets just an inkling of the feelings that I get from the cause. If not, donate a few bucks and I promise it will come over you!
