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

I have just signed up to do a triathlon in memory of my dad!


As some of you might know, my dad passed away on April 1, 2007. When I finished my last TNT event, I started to think about what I would do next and a triathlon seemed to be challenging and exciting to try. So because my dad loved cycling and I have a new found interest in running, I am going to ride my dad's bike (pictured with him above) in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon on September 16, 2007 in his memory. I will be fundraising again for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and have a goal of $3,000. You can access my fundraising page at: http://www.active.com/donate/tntgla/TriBeckieTri I appreciate your support.
