Vogliamo ospitare sulle pagine del nostro blog un iniziativa meritevole che si propone di raccogliere fondi per la ricerca scientifica contro la leucemia e i linfomi. Si tratta di una iniziativa che parallelamente ad altre simili può aiutare e fare la differenza. Vi rimando alla pagina web di Tina Deboni che è una delle tante non atlete che si sta allenando e porterà avanti il vessillo della raccolta di fondi per aiutare a debellare queste brutte malattie il 25 aprile 2009.
Vi allego il testo originale tratto dalla pagina web in questione.

Racing to Save Lives
Greetings,
Welcome to my Team In Training home page!
Those of you who know me best know it’s almost impossible for me to get up before noon on a weekend. So only something I really believe in could get me out of bed BEFORE 8am every Saturday and go run outside in the cold — raising money to help fight blood cancer.
I’m training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. I’ll be running in the Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville, TN on 4/25/09.
All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
Participating in this event will be especially important to me since several of my immediate family members have either lost their lives to, are battling, or have overcome some form of cancer. I’ll be running in memory of my father, Guerrino Deboni, who died of cancer 20 years ago; for my mother, Nella, who is a breast cancer survivor; and for other close relatives who have also been personally affected by breast cancer.
I need your support to cross the ultimate finish line — a cure!
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS’s mission. Many companies offer matching gift programs, so please take a few minutes to find out if yours does by clicking here:
