Hero
Hero is a musical short film about a 41-year-old single mother, cancer survivor, special educator, army combat veteran, non-swimming woman who culminates months of training with Team in Training (Eugene, Oregon) to compete in her first triathlon — the Pacific Crest Triathlon in Sunriver, Oregon on June 27, 2010. All to raise money for cancer research … and to discover the hero inside herself.

ABOUT THIS BLOG
Welcome to my blog! I am writing about what it is like for a slightly out of shape, 40-year-old, single mother, cancer survivor, special educator, army combat veteran, non-swimming woman (ME) to train for my first triathlon! I am participating in this training as a way to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as a part of Team In Training. We are a group of amazing, slightly weird, passionate people interested in supporting people in our local area going through cancer treatment.
