Hey, all. In February I will be running (okay, aggressively walking) the Miles for Hope 5k in February. I am running to honor my best friend’s mother, who passed away last year due to complications from a tumor.
You can read about her here (our team, Acer’s Pacers, is named for her horse). She was a lovely, lovely person and the world is a sadder place without her.
The run raises money for brain tumor research and patient care. Please click here and donate a few bucks if you can. Even better, if any of you are in the Central Florida area, sign up for the run! There is a registration link on the left of the page.
Good going… I see you continue to collect more donations. A schoolmate of mine was diagnosed with a brain tumor this last summer. He’s just now working his way through all that is involved.
Response has been pretty good. I did a 5k for the Susan Komen foundation a few years ago but I didn’t actually do any fundraising (though with a $125 fee just to run they did pretty well off me).
Our team is still in first place for fundraising, but we still need your help. The event goal is $110,000 and we’re more than $90,000 away. I’m nearly at $1,000, at which point I can take a well deserved nap. If anyone can spare a buck, it would be greatly appreciated.
