I wanted to take this opportunity to reach out to you and request your support for Aamir and his quest to participate, finish and win the Philly Triathlon even. I worked with Aamir at my previous employer and became good friends. Aamir’s Participation in Philly Triathlon
Aamir is training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training for the Philadelphia Triathlon, which involves swimming 0.9 miles, cycling 24.8 miles and running 6.2 miles (whew!! That will tire you out man!). All his team members are raising funds to help stop Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin Lymphoma and Myeloma from taking more lives. He is completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers.
How to Donate
I request you to make a donation to support his participation in this triathlon and not only show that you believe in him, but more importantly help advance the Society’s mission.

I like this part the most as I can sit on my couch and cheer him up! I really admire him for participating in the event and going through the grueling training. I think it is worth donating some money just to see him go through this!
Good luck to Aamir and his team and thank you all for your support.
Please spread the word.
