Fundraising Goal is Met!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our fundraising effort. We are now at our goal of $2,400! And the best part is, that was just from the website! This morning I sent in the checks and cash that we've received so far, which totaled $435! The Partylite party alone brought in a little over $125!

It's not over, though, so if you still want to contribute, please feel free! From this point on, 100% of the donations (instead of 75%) go straight towards research and patient services. For instance, families who are struggling can receive $500 from The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help them meet basic needs.

I am so thankful that we've met our goal. We couldn't have done it without our friends and family! Back in November, $1200 each seemed like a pretty high goal, even though it's the lowest fundraising minimum for all the spring events. If we were going to Nashville or another destination marathon, we'd have had to raise about $3500 each!! That's because the donations covers the cost of travel and lodging, but since we're going to Champaign, we're responsible for our own travel and lodging.

If you are interested in coming down to Champaign to cheer us on, all the information for the event is here: http://www.illinoismarathon.com/index.html

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, it means the world to us.
