Join us or Donate to Light the Night...

Hello Lovely Community

I hope your hearts are filled with the warmth that only summer can bring. Even the City has been sunny and bright.

I am happy to announce that we are once again forming Team Victoria and walking Light the Night on Oct 18th 2007. Last year we had a nice size group and that was with very little effort. So we are starting early in the hopes to get a huge team and are able to raise a nice amount of money for LLS.org

If you are not in the Bay area and want to donate I will give you the link to my direct webpage for donation.

I think that each participant needs to raise at least $100.00 to walk. How hard can that be? 20 friends or coworkers $5.00 each, and for such an amazing cause. It is fun you get tee-shirts, food, and a balloon that glows. And as an extra added bonus, I think I am going to be one of the speakers at the event itself, something I promised myself I was going to do when I was there last year.

I learned that 75 cents on each dollar goes to research and programs that help support patients and their families. The Leukemia, Lymphoma society was solely responsible for the funding and research of a new drug called Gleevec that is helping a lot of people with Chronic Myelogeneous Leukemia. It also helps to fund many research project at Stanford and UCSF. So it goes to show you how important fundraising is. This money is not coming from government funds, Ill tell you that much.

So it is up to us!!!

I had the honor of speaking at an event this week geared towards getting corporations to create teams. I stood up and gave my story. I realized and expressed that what I have realized during this past year is that it is our true human nature to want to help. And it is our nature to want to get help.

Most of the time we just have to be asked.
So I am asking.
Join the team if you live near by.
Donate if you can’t be with us in body.

This is not just in honor of me. It is to remember my friend Brenda and her big strong spirit and fight. This is to honor my friends that are still fighting to even get in Remission. This is for all of us that want to LIVE a long healthy life and to one day find a cure.

And here is the URL if you want to donate under my team. All will go towards Team Victoria but each participant set their own goal. I am going to 1,000. But who knows that may change:

Thank you so much for all of you continued love and prayers for my continued healing. Thank you for extending those prayers for all of us fighting Blood Cancers.

Big Love and Sweet Dreams.

Namaste
Victoria
