"Oh, the weather outside is frightful..." - unless you love the cold weather. The typical January temperature for PA has finally arrived... it was extremely cold during the first mile, but I was able to stay warm for the entire ten-mile run!
Coach Bill has advised the team to drink water during the longer runs, especially at the halfway mark. However, on a cold day like today, it was difficult drinking "ice" water! It was so cold that some team members had icicles in their hair!!!
Another fundraising milestone... I have reached $2009! I am so close to my goal now!!! Thank you friends and family for your support, and please continue to pass the word about the cause to your friends, colleagues, and family members.
Next Saturday, we return to Valley Forge.

About Me
- Stephen
- I became involved with Team In Training during the Spring 2007 season by training for the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, New Jersey. Prior races include several 5K and 10K events, and one half marathon. Training for an endurance event takes a lot of commitment, courage, and vision. Looking back on my casual running experience for the past two decades, I never imagined training for a marathon! Through Team In Training, I found a great training program, developed new friendships, and made a significant impact by raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma from taking more lives. I am continually inspired by our featured team heroes and the personal stories from friends, family, and teammates that were shared during my initial fundraising for the cause. Please enjoy reading the past stories of my experience.

My congrats to you and your supporters for a great job of fund raising and your tireless training efforts.
It is people like Steve and his supporters that allow blood cancer survivors to know that they are not alone in this fight. I have the honor of being a team hero for the Eastern PA chapter and am alive today because of a Society funded researcher discovered my magic cancer bullet, Gleevec.
Stephen and his team mates are the true heroes in this story - GREAT JOB Stephen!!!
Sincerely,
David C. Wolovitz
