Hello. My name is Linda Curd. I'm just an ordinary girl with an ordinary job and an ordinary life. Unfortunately there are alot of people out there who aren't so ordinary because they are afflicted by a terminal diease which they have no control over; only the hope for a cure. That's where I come in. I may be ordinary but I can do extraordinary things. I may not be able to find a cure for cancer but I can still make a difference one "step" at a time. And that's just what I'm going to do by making a personal commitment to train for and complete the Honolulu Marathon in December and, more importantly, by pledging to raise at minimum $4500 in donations to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through their Team in Training (TNT) program. But wait there is more. My younger sister, Teresa, has decided that she wants to help out too.

But hey, like I said we're only two ordinary girls. We're going to need alot of help to make this happen. We're willing and eager to do the work and dedicate our time but we need the support of our family, friends, and local community.

Our mission ultimately is not only to raise money for the society but also to increase awareness of this amazing program. The money that TNT participants raise goes to aid researchers in their race to find a cure. The money also funds family support groups and the Patient Aid Program.

If you would like to help us in our mission, we will gratefully accept any donation, large or small. There are numerous ways in which you can show you support:

2: Donate items for auction or raffle - Contact me by email at linda.curd@eds.com
3: Partcipate in fundraising events that will be held throughout the year, calendar coming soon.
4. Tell your friends; spread the word.

Thank you in advance for your support. Be sure to sign my guestbook and remember to check back often to watch our progress.

Linda
