On September 16, 2007 I will be doing the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in memory of my dad, Grant Burns, as part of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. In honor of my dad and his love of cycling, I will be riding his bike for the 18 mile cycling portion. My personal goal is to raise $3,000 to support the society's mission to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. http://www.active.com/donate/tntgla/TriBeckieTri

Happy 4th of July!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions to my Team In Training fundraising. I am continually moved by all the support I get (especially the second time around) from friends and family...and friends of friends and even strangers! The money I raise goes to a great cause and is in honor of many people affected by cancer like my dad, Grant Burns.

This morning I ran the Huntington Beach 5k in 34 minutes. Not bad considering I used to hate running and last year at this time I had a cast on my foot watching the runners go by! I was glad to run in the race this year although it was VERY hot and humid! I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Fourth!
