My First Post

As 2006 was drawing to a close, I set two goals for myself in 2007: to become healthier, and become more involved in community activities. People from all over the United States work in teams to train for a specific athletic event and raise money for their state Leukemia an Lymphoma Society.

I have two specific goals; raise at least $4,500 by September 14th and complete the Tour de Tucson Century Bike Ride. This 100-mile bike race will be held in Tucson, AZ, on November 17, 2007. I am asking for your help to achieve my first goal of raising at least $4,500 for the Nebraska Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The best thing about Team in Training is that every penny raised goes directly to medical research. All of my expenses for the bike race are covered by corporate donations.

You can donate to the cause at http://www.active.com/donate/tntne/heath_tuttle

I will be updating this blog with pictures and posts so you can track my progress.
