It is with a heavy heart that I inform all my donors and supporters that Katrina Aggabao, a brave little 6 year old girl and to whom I was running in honor of, has passed on.


Katrina touched my heart and I will never forget her. I felt an instant connection with Katrina's mom, Jennifer when I met her. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the fact that we had little girls about a year apart in age. Whatever it was, my heart aches for Jen and the pain she and Michael must be going through.


Katrina leaves behind her mom, Jennifer, dad, Michael and little brother, Jared. She will live on in their hearts and memories.


Little Wing

By Celine Dion

Fly, fly little wing

Fly beyond imagining

The softest cloud, the whitest dove

Upon the wind of heaven's love

Past the planets and the stars

Leave this lonely world of ours

Escape the sorrow and the pain

and fly again.


Fly, fly precious one

Your endless journey has begun

Take your gentle happiness

Far to beautiful for this

Cross over to the other shore

There is peace forevermore

But hold this mem'ry bittersweet

Until we meet.


Fly, fly do not fear

Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear

Your heart is pure, your soul is free

Be on your way, don't wait for me

Above the universe you'll climb

On beyond the hands of time

The moon will rise, the sun will set

But I won't forget


Fly, fly little wing

Fly where only angels sing

Fly away, the time is right

Go now, find the light


My run this Sunday will mean even more. May you rest in peace beautiful angel.

As part of my continued efforts to raise life savings funds for LLS, I will be selling Bondi Bands. There will be TNT Logo bands along with sayings and some fashion colors (photo below)


COST:

Each Bondi Band is just $10, and I'll cover shipping costs if you're not local to me. If you buy them directly through their website, you'll pay $12 or more once shipping and sales tax is included. Plus, buying them through me means all proceeds from these sales will go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!


TO PLACE AN ORDER:

If you would like to order a band, please email me at lmcastro626@gmail.com with the band (saying and color choice) you would like to purchase. Once inventory is received (next week), I will post photos.


PAYMENT OPTIONS:

LOCAL/TNT TEAMMATES - If you're local or will be coming out to the TNT Saturday runs with the San Gabriel Valley Team you can pay me in cash or by check.


NOT LOCAL / WILL REQUIRE SHIPPING - If you're not local and your order will require shipping, Paypal would be the preferred method of payment, though I will accept checks as well. If you do not have a Paypal account, you can sign up through https://www.paypal.com. Paypal is the easiest way to send money online to anyone instantly. It's completely free to set up, completely secure, and you can connect it to any credit card or debit card to send money. This will be your fastest option because as soon as you send payment through Paypal, I'll ship out your Bondi Bands. If you would prefer to pay by check, just let me know when you email your order and we'll coordinate payment that way. Once I receive and cash your check, your Bondi Bands will then be shipped.


INVENTORY:

I will post photos once my shipment arrives. I will indicate the quantity of each color/saying/TNT Logo available.

(this is a sample of the band)

So I've met my minimum fundraising goal, thanks to all everyone of you! Without you generosity and constant support, this would not have been possible.


My heart smiles knowing that we are making a difference is people's lives.


Although I've met my minimum, I will continue to raise funds to help find a cure.

The SGV Fall Season is officially underway!


Lots of smiling faces at our first team practice, that is until they were told they were getting pictures take of them! We had a really great turnout for an early start!


Fundraising clinic afterwards was a huge success, lots of people stayed behind to get some great ideas and have an opportunity to join in some great team events!


I am almost to my goal, which is a great thing. I won't stop fundraising just because my goal has been met, but at least I will be able to help with my mentees and get them to their their mimimum. That is the ultimate goal! The more we have committed, the better for the cause!


Here we go! It's going to be a GREAT season! GO TEAM!

Hey beautiful people!


I am almost at my goal! Our first official practice is this Saturday and I am getting real excited!


I want to thank all the heroes that have donated to this wonderful cause! Without your support, I wouldn't be 79% to my goal.


Here's some other great news about Katrina, please read below:

Day +29 BMT

Hello everyone! Katrina is getting better each day. For the first time in a month she asked and drank water in a cup. Her mouth looks better. ANC 2.9, WBC 5.0, bun 42 creatinine 0.95. Her blood pressures have been stable but she desaturated and a little tachypnic . Chest xray was done, it shows cardiomegaly but no pleural effusion. Our doctor reassured us that it is not worrisome but ordered echocardiogram just to be safe.

Earlier today the doctor told us that there is a possibility that we will be discharged home next week. She is scheduled for bone marrow aspiration on Friday to check for the engraftment.


Let's continue to pray for Katrina that the bone marrow she received will continue to make her a healthy little girl! She deserves some happiness along with her family!


Lots of love to you all!


Lynn
