TNT Nike Team: My "Rebirthday" Celebration

The TNT Nike Team recently celebrated my 1 year Remission "Re-birthday" with me. (I am not running in the Nike Marathon, but I am the team's Honored Teammate Survivor so I visit their practices!) Here are some pics from my fun time with the team....such a happy bunch. They have so many amazing stories to share (family & friends with cancer, or they are survivors themselves), and it reminds me how cancer has touched so many of us. It's also incredible that there are so many people willing to come out and support the LLS Mission, even with no direct connection to cancer. Chief Howley (in bottom pic) is a big supporter of the TNT Nike Team in San Diego. Unless he has duty that Saturday, he comes out to support the team in whatever fashion they need. His wife, Teresa, who is part of this team, was recently stationed out-of-state with the Navy, yet he was still out there running an Aid station. I find this ultra-amazing. I have such a soft spot in my heart for this team and all it's members. For those that aren't already aware, SEPTEMBER IS LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA AWARENESS MONTH. I encourage you to support the cause, and it doesn't have to be financial. Go online to http://www.lls.org/ and learn about blood cancer. Drop me an email, and I'd be happy to provide you with a survivor's perspective. There are many ways to support the LLS Mission...just ask me how to do it!
