THANK YOU!

I just want to put out a HUGE THANK YOU to EVERYONE that has helped in the fundraising efforts this far!

I'm deeply touched by the outpouring of support and generosity of our family, friends, vendors, sponsors/businesses & the community. Together, we raised over $1600 toward my goal to help fight blood cancers! I consider the Spring Shopping Social & Plant sale a great success and it would not have been possible without all of the generosity of everyone involved. A special thanks goes to the volunteers that gave their time to help run the event.

For anyone that is interested, there was also a story published in Saturday's edition of the Troy Record: http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2010/04/24/news/doc4bd27e0be0a88721308689.txt

Check back soon for more updates on my fundraising, training & for pictures from this past Saturday's event!
