As you approach recommitment, remember to focus on why you are fundraising for your event. You are helping LLS patients and families cope with Leukemia and Lymphoma and funding research for a cure. It is an awesome experience when you finish your event and know that you just ran/walked 26.2 or 13.1 miles to help others.

When I finished the Phoenix PF Changs Marathon in January 2008, I was approached by a survivor and her husband and two little boys in tow. She said that I was her pace person for the last 5 miles of the race. It was quite humbling, because you guys know I'm not fast, but she was sincerely grateful. It really made all the fundraising phone calls, emails and letters I sent out worth it for that one moment alone.

Be proud Team Tulsa....You are my Heroes!
