This is my sister, Eliza:
This is also a ‘new’ Eliza.
In her own words, she’s never been much of a runner, but in the last year, she has become a serious runner. She’s already run two 5K’s and is in training for . . . . a marathon . . . . in Dublin!!!
I am in awe of her. But, what is amazing is the reason for this marathon. They are raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), a nonprofit health organization that is dedicated to finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma. It just touches my heart knowing how many people I know who have been affected by these.
So, because I love her and it’s a cause I really believe in (and she’s doing all the running), I’m going to ask for some help in her fundraising.
Eliza has committed to raise $5,000 to support the cause and that’s where you come in. Really, this is the easy part because she is the one training and running the marathon (yes, still in awe!).
Donating is quick, easy, and secure (and 100% tax deductible!). Visit Eliza’s website to donate online, check her progress, and learn more about LLS. She’s asking for donations to be made by June 30th so she can meet her goal and focus all her energies on the training part, not the fundraising.
