Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I am training to participate in the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this marathon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.

I hope you'll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!

Easter in Atlanta

The Fleitz Family ventured to Atlanta this past weekend to spend Easter with Vanessa and the Gonzalez Family (Valicia and Carlos). It was a short trip, we arrived Friday evening and left Sunday around 2 to return to Roanoke. The traffic was not fun on the way down, though it was a little lighter on the way back.

We began the weekend on Saturday at at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Vanessa took us there, and the kids really enjoyed themselves. We were amazed at how many people actually dress up in period costumes to go to the festival.

Valicia, Carlos, and Vanessa put on an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. They really enjoyed themselves. There was plenty of eggs to go around.
