Asking for you support

I have some exciting news.

After several months of pondering, I have finally made the commitment to train for my first 1/2 marathon. I just joined Team in Training, and will be running the Disney Half Marathon in January. As part of my training, I will be fund-raising for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. My goal is to raise $3800 for this personal and worthy cause by January. Leukemia and
other blood cancers are the biggest killer of children under 20 years old. The Scholfield family is very lucky to have a survivor in our family, and I am doing this to honor not only the strength of my husband's cousin, but the strength and determination of every person affected by these blood cancer. I have never run a marathon, and I am looking forward to meeting this personal goal of mine, but more importantly, I am excited to help those who are not as fortunate as I am. I know my training will be hard, but never as hard as what the patients I am running for endure.

Please visit my webpage at the link to the right and help me in the fight against these blood cancers.
