MOVING INTO THE WINTER SEASON

Hello to everyone. My name is Jane Elbon and I am the winter season mentor. I have met most of you and know you have started the wonderful world of fundraising! It will be a marvelous journey and you will come out of this experience with so much more than you can imagine. You are helping so many people by raising money for research and patient programs. You may never really know how many people you are impacting but know that it is a huge number. It is not just the money but the desire to do it that is so greatly appreciated. I am a survivor myself so I know firsthand how important it is and what kind of impact it can have on your life to know that there are people like you out there that are willing to give so much of their time and money to try and find a cure.

Next week I will be running the NIKE Women's 1/2 marathon. It is really going to be an exciting race and we are all so psyched up for it. I can't wait to see all those purple TNT shirts out there on the course. Crossing the finish line will be be an awesome and I'm sure an emotional event. I hope you are all able to complete your goal and I am only more than happy to help you accomplish it.

LONGEST TRAINING RUN

September 26, 2009

CONGRATULATIONS!!

After this day the Nike participants can say that you have taken yourselves to the wall. Looking at that training schedule back in May, it may have been nearly inconceivable that you could run 22, 16, or 14 miles. Each week you have kept an open mind, stretched the idea of what you thought was physically possible and now - here you are!! You have nearly reached your goal.

It was such an honor for us to be there to see each of you finish this training run. Even though everyone was exhausted you could tell that every one was also so proud, upbeat, and full of enthusiasm because well....YOU FINISHED YOUR LONGEST TRAINING RUN!! We are all looking forward to that very same spirit when we see you cross the finish line in San Francisco and San Antonio!! Congratulations again and we'll see you on the running path next week!!
