Some of you may know I wasn't too active with the club in 2008 when I was diagnosed with Amyloidosis (rare blood disease). While I was preparing for a stem cell transplant in August of that year, I looked for blogs of others who had this disease. One of those that I found was for a man named Paul Hawthorne. Unfortunately, he lost his fight that December but now his wife Amy has organized a team of 40 to do the NYC tri this weekend to honor him and raise money for the Amyloidosis Foundation. I'm happy that I'm a part of this team and I'm hopeful I'll have a great race report to post in a few days!
If you can and are willing, I would greatly appreciate any amount, no matter how little, to help the cause. The team was targeting $40,000 and as of this morning we were still about $7,000 away.
