WALKING FOR LINDSEY

WALKING FOR LINDSEY

I WAS DETERMINED TO DO A FEW THINGS AND I DID THEM ALL! MISSION COMPLETE!

I SET A PERSONAL FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $5,000.00 FOR A GREAT ORGANIZATION (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). I RAISED OVER $6,000.00!

I WANTED TO BRING FURTHER AWARENESS TO BLOOD CANCERS, AND, TWO FUNDRAISERS LATER AND OVER ONE HUNDRED LETTERS THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

I ALSO WANTED TO TRAIN AND DO THIS RACE WITH "TEAM IN TRAINING" FOR LINDSEY KIMBALL, MY HONORED HERO. THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER THAN CROSSING THAT FINISH LINE AND SEEING HER SMILE.

KEEP WINNING LINDSEY!!!

LOOK FOR ME IN 2010!!!

Lindsey is truly a brave young woman, battling half her life with leukemia. At fourteen years old she is a 2x leukemia survivor, and has dealt with more sickness and pain than the majority of people. She is three years post bone marrow transplant and is doing very well. You would never know the extent of her battle by speaking with her. She is full of life, love and is a true inspiration...especially to me!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The mission of LLS is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, LLS has invested more than $600 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers.

I was determined to bring awareness to the blood cancers of leukemia, lymphoma & myeloma, while raising money for further research and patient services.

This has been a very rewarding and inspiring venture, I must say, and I have learned much about blood diseases and its affect on many people and their families.
