Rita's Racewalk for the Cure
Dear Family & Friends,
Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns they have leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma.
I have joined Team in Training, the world's largest sports & endurance training program, in a nationwide effort to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am training to racewalk the North Trails Half-Marathon on May 18, 2003 in Dallas, Texas. If all goes well, I will racewalk a full marathon in January 2004.
Along with my training, I have set an initial fundraising goal of $1,200. This money will go towards research, patient services, and education for leukemia and other blood-related cancers. With the help of good folks like you, our program raised over $73 million dollars last year!
With this said, I will not only appreciate your much needed support and encouragement for my training, but also your donations (however large or small) to help in the fight for a cure. Please look over this site for more information!
Thanks for visiting my website and feel free to pass the link on to your friends!
With love & appreciation,
Rita McFadden
