Some of you may recall that I got my start in endurance running through
Team in Training. I trained with the Team for 3 years and mentored two seasons. I don't have a personal connection to blood cancers, but fighting cancer is something I have become passionate about through Penn State's
THON and through my involvement with Team in Training. I know a lot of you also have a connection to TnT, so when my husband sent me this article yesterday, I knew I had to share:

Awesome article and thanks for sharing. What a good result for the patient and thank goodness he had the strength to endure the treatment.
Thanks for sharing. I have run for TNT in the past and would like to again when next I live in a place where there is a local chapter.
