On Sunday, October 19th in San Francisco, Stephanie finished her first marathon (26.2 miles) in a blustery morning at the Nike Women's Marathon starting at Union Square and finishing at Great Highway. Stephanie has trained since July 2008 for this marathon and competed against 20,000 runners while finishing #399 Overall in a blazing time of 4:00:03 and first in her running team.
We're so proud of Stephanie's accomplishment and her dedication to a great cause. Her running team, "Team in Training (Great Los Angeles Chapter) and many others contributed to over $18 million dollars for leukemia and lymphoma research. Sunday's event is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The money raised goes toward research and treatment for blood cancers, which account for about 10 percent of the nation's cancer deaths each year.
