Hi All! Unfortunately I have been told that I am not able to compete in this upcoming event due to a knee injury. Hopefully I will be able to participate in a nearby event. Thank you all for your generosity and concerns.

Here we go again! Now in my third season, I will compete in the St. Anthony's triathlon on April 25, 2004 as a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's TEAM IN TRAINING. The olympic-distance event will consist of a 0.9 mile swim, 25 mile bike and a 6.2 mile run! As you may recall, I completed the Dallas White Rock Marathon in December 2001 and the Adidas Dublin Marathon in October 2003.

I can't begin to explain how incredible the TNT experience has been for me. Especially the Honored Heroes! I will participate in St. Anthony's in honor of several Leukemia patients inlcluding survivors Haden (11), Jeshua (8), Maura (6), Nitia (35), Colbi (4), Elizatbeth (6), Jeff (35) and Davin who is now undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. I will also be remembering Larry K. Thomas and Taffie Thomsen who lost their battles with cancer.

Through the TNT program, I will be given a coach, customized training regimen, nutritional and equipment advice and a wonderful group of fellow tri-athletes with a common goal. That goal is to raise $4200 to help find a cure for all blood-related cancers.

I'm asking you for your support in my project by contributing to the Leukemia Society on my behalf. Your contribution will help fund research, patient aid and advocacy so that our Honored Heroes and others like them will not become part of the fatal statistics.

As I train for and complete the St. Anthony's triathlon, I will be thinking of your generosity and how you've supported my efforts. Please join me in this exciting challenge. Any amount you can contribute matters-it all adds up!

Thank you in advance for your support. Please remember Haden, Jeshua, Nitia, Jeff, Colbi and Maura as well as those lost but not forgotten, Larry and Taffie in your prayers.

Thank you and God Bless!
Monica Langston
