Disney Marathon

As most of you know, my daughter Stephanie will be participating in the Walt Disney World Leukemia Lymphoma Society Marathon on January 9th in Orlando, Fl. More than 1,300 runners and race walkers are currently training as members of the Team In Training in preparation for the event. Since TNT first became involved with this exciting event, with a course that brings participants through Epcot Center, the Magic Kingdom and other fabulous Disney destination spots, nearly 24,000 participants have taken part. Over that time they have raised more than $65.5 million to support cancer research and patient services, while realizing their dream of accomplishing a major endurance event.

TNT has prepared more than 440,000 participants for marathons, half marathons, 100-mile bike rides, triathlons and hike adventures since its inception in 1988. In return for the great coaching and supportive team environment, those participants have raised more than $1 billion to support blood cancer research and patient services.

Fortunately, Ray and I will be able to attend the marathon. Steph's sister, Lisa will be flying in, and my sister Donna, and her husband Bill will also be on hand to support Stephanie. I will be adding pictures and blog posts about the event.
