Brandon and I met my Team in Training Campaign Manager, Liz Ovits and as an added treat I was able to see my friend Ellen, the School
and Youth Campaign Manager for LLS’s NCA chapter while visiting. :) Liz gave some further insight on the research
being done, training tools, shared materials, and what to expect through the
fundraising process. I love that the research being done will benefit all
cancers, in addition to blood cancers. As she explained, blood cancers are
easier to test on and extract, while tumors can be more difficult.
Events.This week, I was happy to send out an invite on Facebook to my first game night fundraising event. Flyer for the event:

My training week 4/6 - 4/12.
1st Run - Shirlington Pacers Fun Run, 3 miles.
Rainy day, but finished before it poured. The hills were challenging.
Weekend Run – Gravelly Point Park trail to D.C. Gorgeous day and enjoyed a water break to take photos and enjoy the Cherry Blossoms, 6 miles.
Weekend Hike – Great Falls Park, another day of great
weather that we took advantage of by packing a picnic to enjoy after our hike.
