Swim Bike Run ... CURE

John (aka Murph)is back to continue the work he and Andrea started in 2006, taking up once again the fight against cancer and the work towards a cure - racing in the NYC Triathalon w Team in Training! Murph's the one in the race but we'll both be having to work hard and work together to pull this off, and we'll be tracking our progress here, letting you know how training and fundraising are going - please post a comment or send us an email if you can help us out with either!

Well we had quite an active training weekend. On Friday we swam. On Saturday we biked. On Sunday we ran. Swim, bike, run. Just like that. Its how we do.

The weather was beautiful and we took advantage of it. Unfortunately, we kept forgetting the camera.

Murph discovered his love of speed on his bike. There are 2 substantial hills in Prospect Park, one up one down. Murph was getting in touch with his inner Lance Armstrong and I would say that it seems he has a bit of a talent for cycling. He easily got going about 30mph on the downhill and couldn't get enough of it.

Then we headed to Tom's Diner, a Brooklyn landmark that we'd never been to, for brunch with some of the team. They take the diner experience to a whole new level. On a beautiful Saturday morning the line was wrapping around the corner and they were serving coffee, water, orange slices and chocolate chip cookies to us while we waited. And that was just the beginning. I won't give the play by play of my breakfast three days ago, but let's just say I was impressed.

So that's what is happening with the swim/bike/run part of this. Let's not leave out the CURE. Thank you to everyone who is contributing to this cause. Because of your incredible generosity we've raised $4,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the last 2 months!!!

I have to say--and it was unexpected for me-- that I feel so moved and supported everything a donation comes in. I expected to feel grateful and I do. But it is also an assurance that we're in this together. That we're doing what we can to make these cancers history. So thank you for that. And keep it coming! Our goal is at least $5,000 and we have 31/2 months of training yet to go (thank God!).
