For my TNT donators' amusment.

When I was an RA in college, I was addicted to sending email updates to the student residents list. Spamming people who I'd never meet, to inform them of the next happy hour they had no intention of going to quickly evolved into my own amateur night at the improv and cathartic past time. This was seven years ago, which coincidently was also the last time I did a decidedly low budget sprint triathlon with a bike I "found" leaning up against a dumpster. But this time around I'm classing it up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training for a cause that's very important to me.

Unfortunately cancer's reach is a long one. As it stands in our lifetimes it is a certainty that we will experience cancer in some personal way. So we all should have a reason to help fight it. I'm not a medical professional, scientist, or wealthy philanthropist so my options for finding a cure and helping those suffering from cancer are pretty limited. But if there's two things I'm good at, its sticking to a workout routine and relentlessly annoying people over email.

So thank you for donating to the Society's Team In Training and for giving me a tenuous audience over the next six months to share my turmoil, both physical and mental. Though the bar is set pretty high, I'm confident that you all will help me to reach it. And please check in often, because there's nothing worse than being a clown with nobody there to laugh at you.
