Walking to Save Lives!

We are on our way!



On the 4th of July, we (and 2,000 other people) participated in the Redondo Beach 5K. We kept our 15 minute mile walking pace, and felt good for achieving our goal. A beautiful way to start the day.



Graeme and I will be walking 26.2 miles in the Nike Womens' Marathon to raise funds for blood-related cancer research and patient services as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training program. Blood-related cancers include; leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma.



We are walking in honor of Michael, our brother-in-law who passed away from leukemia. Michael has a special place in our hearts. He was a dashing and humorous best man in our wedding eight years ago. Even through numerous chemotherapy sessions, blood infusions and drug treatments, Michael had a love for life and would be pleased to know that our contributions make a difference in the lives of those who currently have, or will be diagnosed with, a blood-related cancer.



5 ways to contribute:

* Make a donation today

* Donate items and/or assist with our garage sale fundraiser on July 26th

* Buy one, two or more See’s candy bars

* Pass this along to family and friends

* Call sometime to encourage me to continue to train and complete the marathon.
