Well, I decided to create this blog to allow all of my family and friends to track my progress in my quest to raise as much money as possible to help fight leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. I am not much of a blogger or social networker or whatever the technical term is. But because so many of you have generously donated to my cause, I feel like this is our fight and I want you to feel that way. So, hopefully I can find the time to keep you all updated and describe my experience. Thanks to all of you who support me in this journey!
As most of you know by now, I joined Team in Training (TNT) in October 2009. I put away the golf clubs for now and am training with TNT over the next few months to do a 100 mile bike ride in Palm Springs on February 13, 2009. I am doing this for a lot of people, including my two fathers who both passed away from cancer. For more details on my fundraising and my personal story, please go to http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/tdps10/hdeguzman
Ok, so now the truth? There is one other very important reason I want to blog this experience. There are so many people that I have met in my short time on the team that make me realize that there is still not enough money to fight this battle and it will take more! So, this will hopefully serve to get people thinking and realize, like I did, how important it is to continue the fight to find a cure for these blood cancers. If you haven't donated yet, there is still a lot of time (February 1, 2010 is my last day to accept donations) so please read on and check back frequently. I will hopefully do a good enough job describing my experience and relaying the experience of some of the cancer survivors and current cancer patients that you will in fact donate. For those of you who have already donated, I truly appreciate your generosity. You already know how important this is to me, but more importantly, to the people who are living this nightmare today! Please help me spread the word and pass this info on to more people and help me ask for donations!
Thanks again, I hope you take the time and enjoy my updates throughout the season! See you at the finish line in Palm Springs!
