HEY!!!  Theresa Broussard from Lafayette, Louisiana.  Currently training and fundraising for Nike in october.

Last year Disney was my first half marathon and my first TNT event!  AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Next year, my husband, sister, brother in law, and I are all running the Disney Half!

This is the one to do!  Make sure you bring  your camera!!

Did TNT becuase I wanted to run a half marathon after I had my son.  Who knew it would be so addicting!

Mom died of cancer in 2007, she gives me the strength!

GEAUX TEAM!!!!!!

If you write a good letter, and also customize your website you will be surprised how well you will do. Also never stop telling people what yoy are doing you will probably be surprised at their responses. And if you want to do a booster (event type) do something related to something you enjoy. If you are a wine connoissuer have a wine tasting, if you are into bingo try and organize a bingo, if you are into boating organize a poker run, if you like to bash Ohio State good luck with that because they got your number (sorry couldn't help myself), but you get the idea. If you need help brainstorming there is a bunch of great people here that can help. If you have questions about this horrid disease that we are going to beat let us know.  Train well and raise lots.

I'm running Disney!  I'm so excited.  This is my first marathon.  I figured I'd just jump right into the challenge, rather than take on something shorter to start with.  I'm beginning to think a 5K would have been my better choice.   I believe I've convinced my boyfriend to join me as well, including the fundraising.  I am from a city about a half hour outside of Chicago.  I'm running in memory of my brother Brent who died from Leukemia in 1992.  I've been fundraising since about July 23rd, and I've already reached $1,150.  I'm really excited about that.  I have only sent out emails so far, but I included everyone I've ever written an email to in my life.  And, surprisingly, a lot of people replied.  I've also put a link in the bottom of all my emails that takes the reader to my donation page, and I've put a link on my facebook profile.  It has worked out very well for me so far.  I plan to get letters out in the mail by this weekend.  If anyone has any additional ideas for fundraising, I would love to hear them.

I am running DISNEY and I am from Smithtown, New York.

This is my first time RUNNING at Disney, but my idk...20th? time visiting...lol

I joined Team in Training because, after being 230 pounds and unhealthy for 14 years...I finally joined a gym and they made us sign up to run a 5k! I couldn't believe I could do it, until I saw that finish line!! A little over a year later, I have lost over 70 pounds. Why Team in Training? Because that very first race was the LLS sponsored Turkey Trot. And at each of the additional eleven races I have completed this year, I have seen those purple shirts everywhere!! I have joined TNT so I can give back!

I'm from Minneapolis (grew up in FL) and I'm running the marathon with my sister (she lives in Orlando).

Hi guys! 

My name is Jen, I live in Annapolis, MD and I signed up for the Disney 1/2 marathon in honor of my mother's best friend who is currently fighting Lymphoma after years of battling breast cancer and beating it!  This is my first long-distance run and I am SO NERVOUS!!!  I have to say though, through all these nerves, I am quite excited! I'm psyched about the challenge and more determined than ever to finish because I know that whatever pain I am fighting is nothing compared to those we are running for! 

I wish everyone the best and look forward to meeting some of you and doing this together, as a team!!

Thanks Rick...I appreciate the welcome, means a lot!

I think we may have a friend in common, does Barb Kappel ring a bell?  She introduced me to TNT and she spoke very highly of you when I shared with her that you had reached out to me.  That goes to show what wonderful people this organization brings together and I am so proud and excited to be a part now as well
