ABTA Walk as a SURVIVOR!!!

As you all know, 2008 was a trying year for me both mentally and physically. With your amazing support, I have made a remarkable recovery from a Glioblastoma IV Cancerous Brain Tumor surgery and treatment.

On March 7th, I celebrated the end of my Chemo Journey and my OFFICIAL post treatment Cancer Survivor status. On April 25th, I will participate in the 4th Annual Path to Progress 5K Run/Walk to raise money for the American Brain Tumor Association's research and patient/family education and support programs.

As you can imagine, this event and organization is very near and dear to my heart. To even be here today is amazing, but to think that I will walk with thousands of others as a Survivor...brings tears to my eyes.

I realize that the economic situation is not ideal to ask for donations, and I will understand if you are unable to give. I have set my fundraising goal at $5,000 and ask you to support my efforts with a donation of whatever amount you are comfortable with. You can do this easily by clicking the link at the bottom of this message. Just select my name from the list of Fundraisers. There is a link to my personal page below. Just click on the link or copy it into your browser.

I appreciate any donation you give!

Thank you.

PEACE OUT!
