Happy Spring!
Today was officially the first day of Spring and, in good ‘ole California, the weather seemed to agree! Not only did we have a 60 degree day in the East Bay, we also had a small earthquake on the Calaveras fault. I emailed my Team in Training mentor asking if we were still going to have practice and the answer was yes because there are NO WIMPS on our team as we all raise funds to help fight blood cancers!
After two months of training, our mileage is increasing and the workouts are getting tougher! For instance, we started hill repeats! A hill repeat is when you run up a relatively steep hill (ideally as fast as you can) and either walk or run back down only to do it again! There are times when it feels like that hill never ends and you just want to walk, but when that happens I look up or listen around me and hear everyone else. I hear words of encouragement and the sense of community as we’re really there to provide hope and strength to the family and patients dealing with blood cancers – and I need your help!
Your tax deductible donation will help improve the quality of life of patients and their families from helping with the medical bills to the simple things we often take for granted such as transportation costs for treatments!
Your tax deductible donation will help fund the ongoing research to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.
Your donation will go to a reputable charity that is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau member and that devotes 75% of every dollar directly to their mission: curing blood cancers!
Your help is wanted and needed.
