I am only $230 away from raising my goal of $1,000. Your generous donations are welcome and will enable me to cross my fundraising finish line very soon. Unfortunately, I received the email below a few weeks ago; it underscores the importance of finding a cure for cancer.
This is a reminder of why we do it. On Friday, October 14th, one of our old honor hero is now an honor angel. At the age of 6 years old, Justin Rodriquez said good bye to the world of hurt and pain and hello to a new life with his Saviour. He is now free of pain that he had known his entire life battling a form of leukemia. Carlos and Stephanie worked very hard to keep him going but his body could no longer keep up. Justin did have a bone marrow transplant from his sister in I believe 2002 when he became an honor patient for the marathon team.
Hopefully what we are doing this season and for seasons to come, a cure will be found for Leukemia and Lymphoma and Myeloma. Good luck on fund raising and your event if you are active this season. If you are alumni, think about coming back for another season. The fight is a long way from being won.
