TOM & SARAH ARE HELPING RIDE FOR A CURE!

We both want to thank you for taking the time to visit our Team-In-Training Home Page! As you may already know, we have taken on the challenge to compete in a 100-mile bicycle race (also known as a Century Ride) to raise money for the fight against Leukemia, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, and Multiple Myeloma. The race (well some of us consider it a ride with the challenge of fininshing it!) will take place May 20th through the desert terrain surrounding Sante Fe, New Mexico.

Our ride is dedicated in memory of Tom's Sister, Jennifer, who lost her battle against Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in February 1999, and in honor of our nephew, Sam Waldron, who is currently undergoing treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Although this event and the training will be challenging, it pales in comparison to the day-to-day challenges faced by cancer patients and their families. Taking part in this great cause is our way to support those facing this challenge by helping to raise money that is so important to fight leukemia.

Team-In-Training is a nationwide program that trains volunteers like us in walking, running, and cycling for marathons throughout the world with the sole purpose of raising money to aid in the search for a cure for cancer (check out their internet site by clicking on the links button to the left of your screen).

Together, we have committed to raise $8,000 for this cause by May, 2001!

We are not sure which task seems more overwhelming....raising the money or riding 100 miles! We are asking for your help in this challenge by making a generous contribution. Your contribution will help both children and adults with related cancers. If that's not enough we will place your name in the hall of fame contributors list on this web page for the whole world to see! If you have received a form from us in the mail, please send it to us with your contribution. If you can't find our address, or if you haven't received a form, please click the contribute button to the left and mail your support to our address listed.

We can't thank you enough for supporting us in what we feel is a great cause. We will use this web site to keep you all posted as to our success in the fundraising and training efforts. Just click the STATS button on the left and you will see where we stand. Thanks again!

With love,

Tom & Sarah
