Our Editor Steps Up (and Down)

Abena Edugyan has served as a member of the editorial team for Direction since February 2005. She recently stepped down as Managing Editor due to a punishing work and training schedule. Wonder why? Could have something to do with her participation in the Rage in the Sage Triathlon in Nevada in April!

This race benefits The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research education and patient services.

Over the years, the Society has provided more than $424 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers. Abena raised $4,400 for the Society. She says “The race was great, although they cancelled the swim because of the wind. It was a lot of fun!”

We’ll miss you on the editorial team, Abena — but thanks for your contribution to both the P&P SIG and this inspiring event!

— The Editorial Team: Leigh Cordiner  & Lois Marsh

Breaking news: Abena is now officially a tri-athlete; she completed the San Diego International Triathlon on June 24, swim included!
