70.3 HALF IRONMAN

I just can't say "THANK YOU" enough, if you are reading this than you are part of my team. I have set some lofty goals for 2008; including racing in the SOMA HALF IRONMAN TRIATHLON and raising $10,000.00 for The Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
Over the past year I have become very close to this cause, not because someone in my family or a close friend has been diagnosed with cancer, but because of all the great people I have meet since becoming involved. No one asked me to do anything for them, they just say thank you when something is done. The kids are the best, no gimme gimme, or I want Iwant, they just smile and say thank you for taking a minute of time and talking to them, they are just happy to have a fighting chance at life. By sweating and donating and giving time; we, together are giving them that chance, and over the next few weeks I hope to introduce you to them.
If you feel the urge to send the fundraising web address to anyone you think would like to join our team, please send them to: http://pages.teamintraining.org/dm/somatri08/bjones
And when they make a contribution, I will send them the link to our blog page.
I will never be able to say thank you enough for joining with me to fight the blood cancers of our world.
Aloha,
Bruce
