Running for a cause

My sister called me a couple weeks ago and asked if I wanted to do a half marathon with her in April. I told her that I would love to. She told me that it was to raise money for cancer research. I told her that it would be swell and that I wanted to do it with her. Well,  bad news bears, the marathon is the week of our spring break. Since B is the low man on the totem pole there's no way that he can get that week off to come with us to DC, where the marathon is being run, and watch the offspring. So, I had to call her and tell her that I couldn't do it with her. I truly was so sad that I had to back out. As I said, this marathon is to raise money for cancer, so I am going to put an email on here that she sent me that talks about the sweet little two year old that she's doing it for and a couple links on how to help. I know that there are only a handful of people that look at this here blog, but if the handful of us spread the word, then maybe she'll be able to reach her goal she has set for this sweet little girl.

      Hi all!

In 2005 I completed the Honolulu,  HI marathon.  I completed it through Team in Training and raised money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  It was such an exhilarating experience I've decided to do it again.  I have set up a team and will be walking in the Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon on April 27, 2014.  My goal is to raise $3000 for the cause.
I'm coming to my family and friends for help.  With so many people suffering with cancer, including people within our family, this is a way for us to help.  "When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God."  The little miss in the photo attached is Miss Brielle.  She's my Lincoln's newest friend and has just finished her first treatment for Leukemia.  Brielle is just over two years old.  How can we, as His children, not do all we can to help find a cure?  I know I'm coming to you at the peak of the holiday season.   It's the perfect way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas; giving to benefit others. 
Below are a couple different ways to donate and/or help. I've attached a link to my team website and I've also attached a link for a pajama fundraiser.  The link to my website will allow you to donate online.  If any of you have the tradition of getting new pjs for Christmas this is the perfect opportunity!   I've posted ordering instructions and the website to go to.  You can get three sets of pjs for $30.  40% of the money you spend will go towards my fundraising goal.   If money is tight, which I completely understand, another way to help would be to post my website on your Facebook page, Tweet it, pin it on Pinterest or forward this email to any of your friends and/or family. Word of mouth is the best way to collect money.

Thank you all, in advance, for your help and support. 

Merry Christmas!
