Week 5

Here are a few numbers we want to share with you: (5) The number of weeks we have been in training for this 26.2 mile marathon, (6) The number of miles we trained last Saturday, (28) The number of days until our recommitment~ most of our fundraising needs to be done, (45) The percentage we are at as a couple in our fundraising, (74) The number of days before we wake up (if we sleep at all), pin on our number bibs, shoe mile/time timer thingies and walk/run 26.2 miles. (1) The number of days it takes to help make a difference in a family's life.

We have several things we say out loud during training through the pain. (1) Come on Ginger, (2) Jesus help me, (3) Mamasita (4) It's not cancer and it's not chemo, (5) Tom, Vivian, & June this is for all of you.

We are so humbled and blessed by all your generosity. It deeply touches our hearts and we are very thankful. We also feel your prayers and know that we cannot even begin this without them. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Each donation helps accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Nearly 958,000 Americans are battling these blood cancers. I am hoping that my 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. I greatly appreciate your generosity.

Thank you,

Darrel and Ginger Brooks

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