Hello everyone – Just a quick update on my progress and to let you all know that time is running out (pun intended) to donate if you haven't already done so. The Nation’s Triathlon is only a few weeks away and I haven’t quite met my fundraising minimum. FUNDRAISING PROGRESS
Thursday is the deadline for me to raise at least $2400 in order to compete. I have been training about 12 hours every week for the past three months just so I can complete the race, now I just need a few more donations be allowed to even compete. Hopefully, I will be able to raise much more than just the minimum!

 All donations benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) - helping patients in need and helping to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Thank you to everyone that has donated. Your support means a lot to me and so much more to those fighting cancer! If you have not donated yet, please use the link in this email to donate online today. You will receive a confirmation of your donation by email and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation.

 TRAINING PROGRESS
Today I swam a mile in open water for the first time. This was also my first time swimming in a wet suit. (whew, putting on a wet suit is tough!) Now I am heading out to do my longest brick workout 140 minutes biking then a 50 minute run after that. This is one of the more challenging days before we compete in the Olympic triathlon on September 13th! I feel so proud of my personal progress and even more proud to be supporting such a great cause. On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support. I greatly appreciate your generosity.
