Drumroll please...

Oh my gosh! I just totaled my donations so far (both online and through the mail) and I am so pleasantly shocked that I just can't get over it. So far, I have raised a total of $1,105.00!!! This is amazing, and I am so thankful to all of you who have donated to my cause.

I think one of the best things about this whole experience is learning about other's experiences. So many people have been touched by Leukemia or Lymphoma, and some have even participated with Team in Training before. It has been so cool and encouraging to hear about it all.

I feel so blessed to have such an amazing support system behind me. I'm a little nervous about my training in September, but knowing how many people I have cheering for me and believing in me, I feel so much better about it.

Thank you for believing in my cause and helping me!

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
