As you may know, our intrepid executive editor April has undertaken to train for a half marathon and raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) through Team in Training (TNT). To help support and sponsor her goal of raising $4,000 for the LLS, BettyConfidential is hosting a giveaway to encourage donations of any amount from our readers.

Here’s the deal ... you make a donation (of any amount!) through April’s Team in Training donation page, then come back here to leave a comment below, and you’ll be entered to win one of these super duper prizes!  Easy peasy!

Quickly, in case you’re not familiar with TNT and L&L, a note from April:

I’m training for the Nike Women’s HALF Marathon (because I’m only half crazy! ha!) through Team In Training (TNT), which raises funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals, like our honored patient Sofia Blanco (above), who are battling blood cancers. Since its inception, TNT has raised nearly $600 million for research and patient aid, and I am really proud to be a part of it. -April

And now ... THE PRIZES (we have FIVE in all!):

1 (one) Deluxe Beauty Gift Bag (donated by Nordstrom) ... approx value = $400!

1 (one) T3 Veloce Hair Dryer in Black (donated by LockandMane.com) ... approx value = $100

This is a fancy-sounding hair dryer, y’all. It uses Tourmaline technology to dry hair from the  inside out so no frizzies! Yes. “T3 Micro's patented technology infuses Tourmaline into the dryer's components which, when heated, emit maximum levels of negative ions and far infrared heat. Heating the hair from the inside out, this lightweight dryer accelerates water evaporation while locking in moisture and sealing the hair cuticle to reduce frizz.”

2 (two) $50 Fandango Gift Cards (for two lucky winners!) ... approx value = um, duh!

Girls night or date night at the movies -- you decide!
