Help Me, Help the Fight Against Cancer

Hello Friends, Family & Other Random Readers,

I have a request, my childhood best friend, Emily (center) was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in January, 2010.  Some of her close friends and some of her mom's friends looked for a way to show their support. 

She is being treated at Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill and so far, the prognosis is good. Regardless, this will be with her for the duration of her life.  It is utterly impossible for me to imagine what it would be like to be 29 and have Cancer.  Can you imagine it?

18 of us are raising money to support research for blood cancers like Leukemia.  We hope to raise $13,000.  We are well on our way but we need your help.

Each of us has committed to walk 250 miles before November 6th and finish it out with a 13.1 mile walk together on the 6th.

All funds raised go directly to Lineberger Cancer Center for Research - No Overhead!

For those of you who enjoy my daily posts, I would like you to consider giving $5 to Lineberger to support Emily and everyone else who suffer from the battle with Cancer, specifically blood cancer.

Please go to · Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (or you can just write LCCC)
