Help Julie fight Blood Cancer!!
for anyone that doesn't know Julie, she is truly an amazing person. she was diagnosed with Lupis before i met her, and was going through extremely difficult treatments for the bulk of the first few years i worked with her. despite this, she never failed to take joy in everything she did, and still does, and makes the lives of everyone around her a bit brighter.
she is also one of the strongest people i know. i was able to go with her the first time she raced a century in Solvang with Team in Training, several years ago. she had a flare up the day of the race and was unable to keep much of anything down, liquids or nutrients. DESPITE THIS, and all the dehydration etc, she persevered and finished the race! since then she has continued to race for fundraisers fighting leukemia and lymphoma. she's racing with Team in Training again in Solvang this year. she's a few weeks behind in fundraising, but if you'd like to contribute to fighting blood cancer and help her out in her goal to raise $2,700.00
