Juan's Progress & Before Pictures

Progress: I have noticed an increase in endurance throughout my work out sessions. Swimming is coming along, working my way up toward the 12 laps I need to complete. I have successfully made it across the entire length of the pool about 4 times (w/ breaks). We still need to raise $500 a piece, as well as qualifying for the swim (completing the 12 laps non-stop).

This cause is not only for Leukemia & Lymphoma, you are helping these three young men (us) promote health and a well-rounded lifestyle as we put in work for a good cause. ... We thank you in advance.

Goal: Put on some healthy weight and build up the upper body. Any suggestions, please post.

Action Plan: Increasing food intake (don't know what quite yet) ... Lots of running, swimming (learning to swim), Upper body and torso weight training. I am also going to try whey protein shakes.

Alright here goes nothing ....







I will be posting after pictures toward the end of the training. Right now I have to hit the pool.

Welcome to Our Blog: Lambdas Racing to Save Lives

Engin introduced us to the Team in Training program ran through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We are training to participate in an endurance event as members of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) 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.

We are completing this event 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!

This is our first Triathlon. Not only are we competing for people battling cancer, our personal goal it to get fit and help Juan learn how to swim by March 8th! So, if anything donate to Juan's adult swim class. ... LOL We're just joking, but seriously Juan is a non-swimmer and is getting out of his comfort zone and has committed to learn to swim in order to compete with us. Our race days is June 27th, please feel free to join us on race day for support to the finish line.

Please make a donation to support the Lambdas' participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Donate, it feels good & it's TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Our team goal is $6,000.

75 cents of every dollar goes toward the cause (research, etc...) and 25 cents to non-profit organization The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for maintaining programs like Team in Training.

We hope you will visit our blog and site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see our progress. Thanks for your support!
