September is Awareness month for Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma
Well, the date is drawing near and both fundraising and training are getting a lot of attention! I walked 8 miles on Saturday in only 2 1/2 hours, which is a whole lot faster than I was walking when I first started. I never cease to be amazed at how our bodies will respond to attention and exercise.
I have raised $1132 of the required $1500 and have only 15 days left to raise the remaining $368. In addition to accepting direct donations, I also have raffle tickets for an awesome 7-day Caribbean Cruise on Norwegian Cruise lines...imagine sitting on your own balcony, watching the sea go by...tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20.
Even when we are having fun working with the TNT team, we are also often reminded of why we are doing this volunteer work. One participant, with her voice breaking and tears in her eyes, recently shared the story of her brother who died this past April from sarcoma. Another told of us a life-long friend who thought he had beat back leukemia, only to have it come back with a vengeance; he has also died. And we found out that one of the honored teammates, a 6 year old girl named Cameron, lost her battle against leukemia.
While these people, and too many others have died, many thousands more are alive because of the research that has been done, research that is supported by the LLS and TNT. This is important work and I do ask your support.

Let's not forget that the main goal is to prevent getting these awful diseases by supporting our immune systems through proper supplementation, lifestyle and thoughtful living. We will continue to address these concepts and will start the series on water next week.
I wish you peace, joy and many blessings, Jana
