I have joined Team in Training to raise money for cancer research. It is such a great organization that I had heard of, but didn't really know what it consists of. It is a great way to raise money for cancer research and at the same time travel to some fun races and meet new friends along the way. I am raising money and running in the Nike Womens Marathon this October.
There are lots of perks with the program. First and foremost, you are raising money and running in honor of a cure for cancer. What a great cause! Another perk is if you meet your fundraising goal, your flight, your entry fee, and your hotel are all paid for. There is also a great pre and post Team in Training Party Tent just for members. Another perk is even if the event is sold out (which the Nike Women's Marathon is) Team in Training has a way to get you in...dont ask any questions :) And by the way, The Nike Womens know how to put on a race. Rather than a medal, your receive a necklace crafted by Tiffany&Co, there is a Gheridelli chocolate stop along mid race, and the expo is all about women... mani/pedi, lotza pink, ipod engraving...
Super stoked to be raising money to donate, to be running a marathon in honor of my mom who has battled cancer and won twice now. And to be going to San Fran!!
SO, I have added the widget on my blog for anyone that would like to donate to a great cause. It would be greatly appreciated. I will keep you updated on my marathon training, which is in full force craziness. My husband is always sad when I go into full on training mode... doesn't see me much before work .Thanks in advance for you online support! You are all great bloggy buddies and supporters of me :) Happy Running! Check my page out here.
