Rick's "Death of a Cancer Tour 2008"
I'll quit running when cacner is dying in the gutter somewhere.
I started running against Leukemia 2 years ago for the Team in Training when my best friend was diagnosed.
Since then I have run 5 marathons, 2 halfs and a triathlon for them.
I have been a runner most of my life, since age 7, and started cycling over 20 years ago.  
Now days, I coach marathon runners for the Team in Training and organize a cycling club on the weekends for beginner cyclists.

In 2008 I will complete the IronMan Arizona to raise funds agains blood cancers.  Along the way, I will do the Flying Pig Marathon, the Nike Marathon, get my RRCA coaching certification, do the Arizona Distance Classic 1/2 marathon, the Tour of the Tucson Mountains bike ride, Mountain Man Half IronMan, and coach new runners for San Diego, Anchorage, Vegas and PFChangs Marathons.

I am a serious mid-pack, age-grouper.  I won't win anything, but I will raise some money to fight that bastard cancer.
All donations are 100% tax deductible and go directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Any donation of $100 and above and I will plaster your name and/or logo on my websites and both snail mail and email training updates. For $250 or more it goes on as much training and event running/cycling/swimming gear as I can get it on

 I'm not looking to get any freebies. I buy what gear I need when I can afford it and pay most of my way to my events.  If you have products you would like to me to wear or ride or eat or drink, let me know and we can work something out.

What I would like to see are  donations to the Luekemia and Lymphoma Society.

If you want to make a personal donation, you can go here:  http://pages.teamintraining.org/dm/nikesf08/rkarl

You can send your checks made out to "LLS" (Luekimia and Lymphoma Society) to 2740 N Pacific Dr, Tucson, AZ 85705.

For larger corporate donations, you can use this website.
For a donation as small as $2500 your company can become a Team in Training Corporate Sponsor and have your logo on the Team's event jerseys and dri-fits.

Thanks
Rick
