Mission Moment - Great news from Team Hero, Jen Polo!

1) I saw my dr. Tuesday and I am officially cleared until September!!! I saw my scan readings myself and there is no evidence of any lymphoma right now! Hurray!

2) I entered a contest with Trek Bikes called "Women Who Ride" and out of 2600 essays, I WON! There are 5 winners and I am now a spokeswoman for Trek Bikes. They are going to fly me out to Wisconsin mid-July and give me a bike, gear etc. . . and set me up on their website with a blog, do a photo shoot. I will be in their catalog and at events! Very exciting stuff. I'm excited to be able to do some lymphoma education with the whole thing."

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.
