Mission Moment

Honored Hero Update

Team Hero Adam Spector is still fighting his Lymphoma with everything that he has. He is on a new treatment that has been able to somewhat stabilize the cancer, but unfortunately the treatment has some significant side effects. It is those side effects that are making him incredibly sick at the present time. He will continue to be on this regiment for awhile and they won’t know how much of an impact it is making on the Lymphoma for some time. We have been hearing from time-to-time from his mom and she has been checking his email. Feel free to send warm wishes to the Spector family, but please know that a response is highly unlikely. Just let them know that they are in your thoughts, and in the miles you run/walk and the dollars you raise. Remember that what you are doing as a Team In Training participant is helping individuals such as Adam in their fights against blood cancers. Keep up the great work.

About Me

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.
