Friends and Family,
Most of you know by now that I am running a 1/2 Marathon in Walt Disney World on January 9th, 2009 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Thanks to the Team in Training program and some help from friends and family I am prepared to run 13.1 miles. However to compete in this marathon I must reach my fundraising goal of $3,800. Currently I have raised $2,201.25, plus we are looking at adding funds from donations received this week in checks of $100 per member of my team and $250 a piece from the charity poker tournament and Barnes & Noble gift wrapping events. That leaves me with $1,248.75 left to raise by December 22, 2009. A special thanks to those that have already made a donation to this cause. However, without additional help in fundraising this last chuck of money, I will not have the funds to compete (I have already made some sizable donations to my efforts). Please help by giving a donation to my Team in Training website or by sharing my fundraiser with your friends and family. Together I know we can reach this fundraising goal and help fund life-saving research and patient services for families suffering with Leukemia and Lymphoma.

Thanks in advance for those who have already supported me to this point and for those who will help me finish my journey.
Hope everyone has a happy holidays,
Jason Drake

PS For those that play poker I will be holding another Charity Poker Tournament on Saturday, January 2, 2010. So save the date and get ready to play some Texas Holdem for a great cause! Our last even raise $415 dollars for LLS and my goal at this event is $1,000 for my team.
