Today, I’m launching my “Tri for Ned” Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training effort. I’m dedicating my participation in the Ironman Switzerland race on July 12 to my dad, Ned Stanzel, who lost his battle with leukemia in October of 1997. Please visit “Tri for Ned” for more information about the important works of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

And, stay tuned for more race updates over the next 23 days.
