I'm running a marathon

Here's what my fundraising email says:

Hi Friends,

On October 22, I will be running the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco. It has always been a goal of mine to run a marathon, but didn't have any great reason. Then, the girls from my running group (The Welcome Back Trotters) joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as participants in their Team In Training program. Each marathon participant will be raising money and I'm asking you to help by making a contribution. I realize that the race seems far away. As I am already training for the 26.2 miles, I am also trying to train myself to ask good friends, co-workers, and family to donate their hard-earned money to this cause to reach my goal of $3900. Both numbers seem distant and overwhelming at this stage of the game!

Each donation helps accelerate cures for leukemia,
lymphoma and myeloma and brings hope to the patients and families who are on the front lines of the battle against these diseases.


Please use the link in this email to donate online quickly and securely. You will receive a confirmation by email of your donation and I will be notifies as soon as you make your donation.


If you do not feel comfortable donating money online, please let me know , give me your address, and I will send you a donation form to you in the mail.

On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate your generosity.
