Wow you guys...I am completely speechless. I am truly overwhelmed by everyone's support, generosity and enthusiasm. I especially want to thank Shemp for putting this post up for me because I was a little gun shy about doing it. I
A huge thanks to Ken for contributing such a hefty donation. I was so excited about this that I called my mentor to let her know about your generosity. I've asked her to see if we can work out some type of corporate sponsorship. She'll look into it, then get back to me.
There are a few people that really surprised me because they helped me 2 years ago w/my fundraising when I was training for the marathon too. Many thanks go out to you because I wasn't expecting you to donate twice! A special thanks also goes out to a few people that have donated and I don't even know them. I hope to meet you in person real soon to give you my utmost gratitude.
I also want to express my heartfelt appreciation for people who shared personal stories about their loved ones that were victims and/or survivors. I'm so sorry that some of you have felt the tragedy of losing a dear loved one. I personally had never know anyone that had cancer until the last year. From this thread it's easily apparent that you are the ones that have true strength. It takes an immense amount of courage for people to fight the unknown. I hope that we will be able to find a cure in the very near future.
Thanks again to you all for the bumps, best wishes and donations.
