Thank you to everyone who has donated and helped me along this fundraising and marathon training journey!
Due to some amazing help, I have reached my final fundraising goal of $6500! I am so blessed to have so much support from everyone around me and to know that people are as passionate about helping local patients as I am.
Because of support from people like you, many advances have been made to improve the quality of care and life of patients including Gleevec, a pill taken once per day that allows CML patients to live a normal life without chemotherapy or radiation, Velcade, a medication that is improving the life of Myeloma patients by three-fold, Rituxin, a therapy that can dramatically improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
Because of support from people like you each local chapter of LLS is able to offer a patient co-pay program, patient financial aide program, education programs for patients and families and support groups.
Because of support from people like you I live everyday knowing there is good in the world and that one person can make a difference.
I will be running this weekend, for all of you and all of the patients and families and all thoses in our memories, to find a cure so no one has to go through this tough disease.
Thank you so much and God bless you!
Ok, I originally thought I would rest on the fact that I had made my goal, but knowing myself, I cannot! I want to keep pushing towards the finishline and raise as much as I can to support research and patients.
I am doing so in memory of a fantastic Honored Patient, Micia Amos, who never gave up and pushed through until the very end. She was a special person and has inspired me throughout this entire training season.
I have set a new fundraising goal of $6500, which has to be met by 12am on Thursday, October 13! Can I do it? Yes. Will I do it? Yes. Why? Because I know how much this money is going to support patients and their families and how much LLS does for people around the world, not just locally.
So, help me out and donate. Even a $1 is helpful. Out of every $1, $.75 is given back to LLS to support patients. So do it, you won't regret it.
You can sponsor a mile in my marathon! Donate $10 now and receive your name & a special event day "presence" during your chosen mile! Photos will be provided, so you know you were with me!
Help get me to the finish line of raising $5000 for local blood cancer patients & their families & be there with me when I reach 26.2! Do it! You won't regret it.
Thank you to the following mile sponsors!
Morgan Moravec - Mile 13
Jenn Melling - Mile 19
Allison Ihm in Memory of Brandon Steffen - Mile 8
Erika Nardi in Honor of her brother's 7th year cancer free - Mile 7
Micia Amos - Mile 25-26.2
Thank you to everyone who has donated and supported me throughout my journey to train for another marathon and raise funds to support local blood cancer patients, their families and research being done right here in Kansas City.
While my journey is coming to close, there are many people out there who are still fighting for their lives and for the lives of others, so please send out my website information one more time to anyone and everyone because without your support we will not find a cure.
My marathon (26.2 miles) is on Sunday, October 16 in San Francisco, CA. I will be honoring a dear friend and Honored Patient, Micia Amos, from the beginning to the last mile because she never gave up and neither will I. I will also be honoring another LLS Honored Patient, Brandon Steffan, through mile 8 (his birthday was on the 8th), who was very dear to my friend Allison's heart and inspired her and many others in so many ways. I will be honoring so many other people and their fight for life and a cure along the way, so please send me anyone who you would like me to dedicate a mile to.
Thank you so much!
You can pre-register by donating online. Once you donate online, I will contact you to confirm that you are registering for trivia.
