Hi!

We are Victoria and Melissa, and we are starting this blog to chronicle our training for the Lehigh Valley Half Marathon on April 25, 2010.

Melissa had the great idea to do a race to support Leukemia and Lymphoma, as our beloved Daddy, Robert Berenholz, lost his battle to Lymphoma on December 19, 2009.

We are so proud of our "poker star" Dad, and so happy to be able to honor his memory.

On your mark...
