Denverlee Paquette's daughter, Dakota, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at age 4, a week before starting preschool.
Denverlee was already running half marathons, and during the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and Half Marathon to Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in San Diego, she discovered Team In Training (TNT).
"I looked at the total strangers in a sea of purple jerseys and knew that once life started getting back to normal, I needed to join Team In Training," Denverlee says.
Denverlee recently completed her first full marathon with TNT, and she is now a Team In Training captain for the summer season.
