Just a reminder...

Hello all

Sorry if you are seeing this for the millionth time or if you have already donated. It’s getting close to the event and I am getting excited.

I figured some of you may want to donate and put it on the TO DO list and well, you know, sometimes that list gets so big.

You may or may not know that I am have made the commitment to walk in the Fundraising walk Light the Night, sponsored by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

We will be walking Oct 18th in San Francisco starting at Justin Hermann Plaza to the Ball Park and back. It is a beautiful site to see. Everyone will be carrying illuminated Balloons, Red for supports of loved ones with Blood Cancers, White for Survivors, and Gold to honor those who have passed.

I was able to walk last year, in between treatments, and after a very serious round of treatment that kept me in the hospital for nearly 46 days.

I felt blessed to be able to have the strength to walk and share in this profound experience.
It was so moving to me I promised I would be there this year and here I am in Remission, getting stronger every day, and I get to be one of the speakers to share my personal story with all the walkers.

The one thing I noticed last year is that there weren’t enough White balloons.
This is why I walk and try to raise money, so more research for treatments can be done, so that there is more funding for clinical trials and more funding for support for caregivers and patients.

75% of what is collected goes to these programs. I think that is amazing!!!!

During this fundraising process I found it often difficult to ask for money. But as I stepped out of my comfort zone I realized that this is coming from my heart, even the smallest donation is important and it’s OK if someone says no. And sometimes all you have to do is ask.

I thought I would send another email because many times we say, Great Ill donate and then get sidetracked and forget. Such is life right, we all do it.

I am here to remind you........I’m here to ask again.

If this calls to you, then please donate and know that any amount is a helpful amazing amount. And any amount will make you feel warm and fuzzy!!!

You can go to my direct web page to donate online; you can even fill in your own amount if you want!

Our team is doing really well. We currently have 16 people walking.

We met our goal of 5,000 but we have surpassed that and are at 6,665.00. We are going to keep going till it is time to walk!!!

My goal was 3,000 and currently I am at 3,200, I’m going to keep going too!!! Maybe I will make it to 4,000!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your consideration to donate.

As you know this is near and dear to my heart. I feel blessed to be carrying a White Balloon and will carry it and walk with the love of all who have prayed for me and supported me with love over the past 18 months. I’ll also be carrying 2 gold balloons one for Brenda and one for Liza my Heroes in this Fight.

Gratitude and Love Love and Only Love
