3,500 Down, 13.1 To Go

WE DID IT! I've officially surpassed my goal of raising $3,500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Many, many thanks to everyone who donated generously. I can't say enough about the support I've received.

I wish that everyone who donated could be with me in Disney to see the cancer survivors on the sidelines telling me that what we've done has made a difference in their lives. (Darn it, if only I could find a way to carry a camera to take pictures along the way!)

The fundraising part of this challenge (which was perhaps even more challenging than the actual run) has truly showed me how supportive and open people are. Just ask and people are willing to help support a good cause.

My donations came from friends and family, near and far. Some came from long-time friends and other from people I know just casually on some of the boards I sit on.

I am truly impressed by everyone who was willing to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (and me!) during the past few months. Please know that your money will go to good use -- and your support will never be forgotten!

Thank you again.

(Phew, one thing I won't be thinking about during the 13.1 miles on Saturday...)

REMEMBER, I'M DOING THIS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

  3. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. I knew you would finish and within your time goal. You have worked really hard at this task and made some good friends along the way. I can't wait to see more pictures and read more details. A celebration dinner is in order. You pick the time and place.
