View PRNCSSGRL's food & exercise for this day
Every Saturday until November Ill be running with Team in Training as I prepare to cry scream scratch punch crawl walk run across the finish line of the Amica half marathon November 28th. I want to dedicate Saturday runs to people affected by Leukemia/Lymphoma.
This is where you get to help me.
I want you to tell me your story.
Tell me whatever your heart desires about how Leukemia / Lymphoma has impacted your life. Share the story of your loved one or friend. Im going to be telling you about my grammy soon. She gets a Saturday because she passed away of Leukemia in February of 2002. Im going to share my grammy with you because you need to know why Im running and why this is so important to me. I want to run for you too.
Share with me.
Thats a lot of Saturdays between now and November 28th. Fifteen to be exact. Im starting this Saturday with a great story about my friend Ashley and her mom. She even sent me a picture. This Saturday will be for them.
I want you to have a Saturday too.

Thank you for doing this Tara. My older brother is in remission from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It was a very difficult fight over the past six years but he seems to be on the upside of recovery - thanks mostly to a bone marrow donation from my sister who thankfully was a match.
Here's to Saturdays for all of the survivors and all of those who did not.

Hi Tara. I had a nephew, Michael, who was diagnosed at age 8 with leukemia, and who died 3 years later. He was a gentle soul.

My youngest niece was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was two years old. She has spent years going through all the necessary treatments. She is ten years old now and doing great. She got a special trip from Make-a-Wish last year when she got to go to Disney and meet the Princesses.

You're not only supporting the cause and dedicating your own physical self to it, but you are also HONORING it. You are an amazing woman.
