See Howitt Run
I have 2 weeks left to raise the remainder of my $3,900 goal for Leukemia and Lymphoma and I need your help. I'm in Week 15 of the Team in Training plan to run the San Diego marathon on June 4th. Saturday was an 18 mile run out in Darien, IL and my legs are still tight from the challenge. It's a distinct change from the flat course along Chicago's lakefront. We've got a 10 mile run this weekend before the next jump to 20 miles the following week.
I was initially running in memory of my Aunty Moreen who passed away in 2004 after a 6 year struggle with bowel cancer. The weekend after I started my training we discovered that my wife's 3 year old niece Haidyn had been diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). Over the past 12 weeks she has been a tough little girl fighting infections caused by the drugs reducing her immune response and dealing with the loss of hair caused by the chemo. At mile 16 on Saturday as I felt like my legs couldn't keep going I remembered the pain her and her family have experienced and it pushed me to the end.
