Many of you may already know that I have signed on to do another Team in Training (TNT) century bike ride for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). This groundbreaking charity sports training program has raised over $1 billion to support blood cancer research and patient services.

I think it is an incredible cause. My dad died of cancer (although not from this form), but what impressed me the most was how much more treatable/curable this disease is today because of the dollars that have been spent toward research. I really felt that my dollars raised from my 100 mile ride in 2008 really did some good – plus the personal journey one experiences preparing for and during such a physically and emotionally challenging event are truly priceless.

I blogged about my challenges, insights and triumphs during the 2008 ride in Lake Tahoe in Lessons Learned From the Road Part One, Two and Three.

I will continue to share here what life lessons are revealed this time round. If you are inclined to make a donation to help me reach the entry fee, I would be honored and grateful for your support. (Comments and feedback are really supportive, too…thanks!)
