Racing to Save Lives
I am running a marathon to help raise money to help end blood cancer!
I am not only running this race for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but also as a dedication to my daughter, Auset, my mother Brenda Lawrence, and to my grandmothers, Louise Rogers and Irene Williams, to symbolize the strength and determination being passed on through the generations of our society. And for my uncle Orrie Jones, who has Multiple Sclerosis, and although this fundraiser is for blood cancer, I am running in the spirit of finding cures for ALL diseases including MS.
I need to raise at least $4200 to be able to participate, so I need your help. I will be doing the hard part by running 26.2 miles, and you can help with the easy part by donating as much money as you can :-)
So please make a tax deductible donation now, and come back often to check on my updates!
