Feeling not silly…little Goofy… Defiantly DOPEY

So I promised myself the next time I fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the Team In Training it will be would be a big deal. It would be special! When I joined TEAM back in February of 2006, I joined to in honor of my dad (My dad being a Lung Cancer Survivor), to learn how to run a better marathon, and to make new friends. Jump forward to 2013, I’ve ran 11 successful marathons (raced in a number of triathlons and rode in a number of century bike rides too), made so many new friends from across the country, and still enjoy a home cooked meal from my dad.
In 2013, I just don’t run for my dad I run for my friends. I run for my friends Mike and Stacey. Mike and Stacey are survivors themselves and without the research of the LLS I would have some very lonely Sunday runs. These days I run for all of my friends who have lost someone to cancer. I run for those who can’t. Since I have so much love to go around I’ve decided to do something crazy. No, crazy isn’t the right word. How about…I feel like doing something Dopey!
That’s right this January I’ll be running the Walt Disney World Dopey Challenge with Team In Training in honor of my friends, my friends‘ friends, and the silver anniversary of the Team In Training Program! The Dopey Challenge is 48.6 mile challenge over 4 days throughout Walt Disney World. In 4 days I will run the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon. The most challenging part won’t be the running it will be the fundraising. 
My goal is to raise $6,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by December 1st. I’ll be selling classic Team In Training Water Bottles, I’ll throw some crazy Fundraisers at Fox and Hound, maybe I throw in a karaoke contest or two. There will be more to come. Follow me on every social media outlet, some fun things are coming out soon from there.
