Enough about me. Let's talk about you.

Since embarking on this journey, I have been humbled, amazed and inspired by the support I've received from you, friends and family. Handwritten notes on donations, comments on my workouts on DailyMile and social networking sites - they have all been an source of strength when I'm feeling tired and the thought of a squeezing et another commitment (a workout) just seems a bridge too far.

And now, for the exciting news: we are now 15% towards my goal of raising $1700 by July 2 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to promote research and provide family services for families and patients battling the disease. (You won't see this reflected on this website because a few contibutions were submitted by check or on paper - they'll be appear on the site in a couple of weeks, have no fear.) Your support made this happen! A number of you have already contacted me, committing to contributing in a couple of weeks. Thank you so, so much.

And a tremendous thank you to those of you who have already contributed:

Sally, Minneapolis
Michelle, St. Paul
Ruth, Minneapolis
Jenna and Mark, Minneapolis
Libby and Bob, Hastings
Jenny, WA
Michele, CA
Doron, Minneapolis

From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you for believing in me and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's incredible work. And now on to our next team run- 4 miles tomorrow. Woohoo!
