Grand Chute resident Mike Schmidt is training to participate in the Accenture Chicago Triathlon on August 2. He will be a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. Funds raised by the Team will be used to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Mike says he's currently very busy with training!
As a team participant, Mike has named two honorary patients as his motivation for crossing the finish line. They are Sue Hoffmann of Oshkosh,(lower pic) just recently diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Luekemia. Sue is 52 and a mother of 3. She works in the Media Dept. at Oshkosh West High School. Jennifer Dins of Appleton, (upper pic) is fighting Ovarian Cancer. She is 45, a mother to 4 wonderful daughters, and the Territory Manager for Weight Watchers Intl. of North Eastern Wisconsin.
Mike’s goal is to raise $5,500 dollars before the triathlon. If you would like to support Mike in his triathlon debut, while donating to a worthy cause, visit his Team in Training website.
