Hi, I'm Krystal, some of you may know me, and some of you may not.So let's get to the point, I am training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. The event will be the Nike Women's Marathon, being held on October 23rd. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this marathon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! I'll be updating this page every week with my progress as far as training and fundraising (check the diary!), but if you want to help make it really interesting, then you should donate and get others to as well. Let's make this REAALLY exciting.
