Full Timers...

We never would have thought replying to a piece of mail would turn into a full time job, but it has. Ginger spends her days: writing thank you cards to donors and running them out to the mail box, thinking about everything we put into our fuel tanks (mouth) including enough water, training Tues and Thurs nights when Darrel get home from work, making connections for fundraising activities like the two this Saturday ( $1 to put your name in a drawing for a bottle of fingernail polish the color for Team in Training. and our fundraiser at the local Tacos y Salsas restraunt. The best Mexican food we've been able to find. Come out and have a meal and donate to the Leukemia, Lymphoma Society to fight cancer and help families. If you're not able to come out or you live too far away, you can still donate via the website below or via snailmail. (Multiple donations gladly excepted!!!)

We participated in our first event last Saturday. It was called Heros for Children in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We walked/ran a 5k. It was so much fun. We loved cheering people on at the finish line. We are getting use to waking up on Saturdays at 5am. It's really such a small price to pay in the big picture.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your prayers. Following the direction of our great coaches Ginger went to the doctor to get checked, the doctor did x-rays and blood work. Everything came out good. She then went to a chiropractor for all the pain she's been in. She said her brain and body are not connected. Hmmm she never expected that news. :) Anyway Tuesday nights 4 mile workout went much better. Darrel needs prayer for his knees also.

We have been super blessed these past weeks by your generous giving. Our fundraising has risen to 65% of our goal. We know the deadline is approaching quickly but we have no doubt God will provide through you.

We are inspired my many but when in comes down to the pain we run for TOM, VIVIAN and JUNE. It is our honor to do this for you. Saving a life one mile at a time.

Each donation helps accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Nearly 958,000 Americans are battling these blood cancers. We are hoping that our participation in Team In Training will help bring them hope and support.

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

Thank you,

Darrel & Ginger Brooks

P.S. We would appreciate it if you would forward this email to as many people as you can to encourage them to donate as well. Thanks again.
