Officer Larson needs your help!!

A very dear friend of mine is training for the 2011 LA Marathon this year, and I asked if I can post the following email to my blog.

Any help is greatly appreciated; even a great word of encouragement is welcome for all he's doing.

Thanks!!!

"I hope this e-mail is reaching you in good times and health!

As for me, I'm training to participate in the 2011 LA Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training and Team LAPD. When I joined the LAPD 4 years ago, I was looking for a challenge as well as an opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. Over theses past 4 years I have not been wanting for a challenge and I feel as if I had made a difference in people’s lives in many ways.

In true LAPD fashion I am faced with yet another challenge and another chance to make a difference. Team LAPD is training for and will run in the 2011 LA Marathon to honor and support members of the LAPD family who are facing the fight of their lives with cancer. I will highlight their efforts more in the near future.

Many of us have been affected by cancer. We all hope and pray that those fighting cancer can beat it. We all wish there was something we could do to help.Well, Team LAPD gives us all a chance to help. As a runner I am working to raise money to help those with cancer and hopefully get us one important step closer to a cure. You can be a part of that effort as well.

By donating to this cause you are giving hope to those fighting cancer. You also give hope to the families of those battling cancer.

I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. I also post my runs up on my Facebook page. Thanks for your support!

If you can donate please go to my web page.

Also take a look at the Team LAPD page.

If you can't donate please send a message of encouragement!

Thank you for your time and attention.

Officer Philip Larsen"
