My Friend Julie

My friend Julie (see last November's marathon postings) is awesome. For a number of years she's been running marathons and half-marathons through the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program to raise funds for people with blood cancers.

Now she's gotten herself a brand-spankin-new bike and is at it again. This June, she'll ride 100 miles around Lake Tahoe in "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride." And she's set a goal of raising $3,000 for LLS. If you'd like to help her reach her goal, go here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/ambbr09/reedrides

A long time ago I worked for the Leukemia Society (before the name change) and know just how amazing the organization is. Not only does it award grant money for cutting-edge research, it provides programs that help people navigate things like insurance, support groups, etc. It's a great organization.
