And so it begins...

Welcome to 26.2 miles to go!
By now you will have gathered that Patrick and I are running a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

We started training about 3 weeks ago. So far so good, although we'll have to report back following our scheduled 6 mile run with the Team in Training group. Yikes!

Fund raising, on the other hand, began about 2 days ago. Suddenly 26.2 miles of hard core running seems easy in comparison. You'd be surprised how hard raising money for a great cause is! However, thanks to all those who have donated thus far. We will notify each and every one of you about various fund raising raffles, auctions, happy hours etc that are in the pipeline for the upcoming months.

The first happy hour raffle is tentatively scheduled for beginning/mid March. We'll have lots of donated gift certificates, prizes so check back for an official date and time on that one!

If anyone has any additional fund raising ideas or prizes from your business you'd like to donate for the raffle - please post!!

More to come...
