Yes, We Can!!

No this blog is not about our new Prez, but the sentiments the same.

WE DID IT!!!!

I can hardly believe that it's only November 5, and I'm writing this. As of today, I have officially met my fundraising goal for my Team in Training marathon in Walt Disney World!!! My website does not reflect the full total yet, pending receipt of one more check, but officially, I have raised $3,910!!!

I am so incredibly grateful to each and every one of you. If you made a donation, came to my fundraiser, encouraged me in person or via email, read this blog, or even just read my emails, I am eternally thankful for your help in getting me to this challenging goal, and I could never have done it without you.

If you still want to make a donation, I won't stop you--every dollar gets us closer to a cure for blood cancers.

The hard part's done, now I just have to run 26.2 miles! I'll be thinking of you when my legs get tired, when I'm on the plane to Florida, when I cross the finish line on January 11, and mostly, every time I hug my husband, who would not be here if it wasn't for the work of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the generosity of people like you.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Congratulations! That is awesome! I hope in-between the training you take some time to celebrate.
