Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thank you, dear Lottie, for the continued good words. Despite my back injury, I WAS able to walk the marathon in Seattle on June 27 and my husband ran the full marathon (26.2 miles.) For our 9th event over nine years in Team in Training, my husband, Van, and I were able to raise a total of $25,135 bringing our overall total to over $165,000. We were only a small part of the Team in Training participants in Seattle from all over the nation and Canada who raised over $4,000,000 to help find a cure and make the lives of patients and their families better. I am proud that I am able to give back. It has meant the world to me. My CML support group, nicknamed CML Busters and sponsored by the LLS, just did the Light the Night Walk at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. We have done this walk for the past five years and we always have a great time and collectively have raised many dollars, too. I'm not sure exactly how much, but I think it's over $100,000. We are determined to " BUST " CML! Onward and upward everyone. I look forward to Sue's report! Virginia " Be the change you want to see in the world.
