A few weeks ago, I was in a quandary about what to do about the upcoming Light the Night event on September 14. I wanted to honor my commitment as Captain of the Cancer Banter team, but didn't think that I would be up to doing a 2.8 mile walk.
I'm getting stronger every day and can now stroll a couple of blocks before I start gasping for air. That's a vast improvement over my condition two weeks ago, when I needed to be pushed in a wheel chair, but it's a long way from being able to walk nearly three miles.
But my stellar team of eight walkers is carrying on without me. Together we've raised more than $1,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thank you to all of my Cancer Banter friends for your generous donations.
It's not too late if you'd like to sign up to walk, and it's not too late to make a donation to an organization that is a powerful force in supporting blood cancer patients and their families through education, connections and research.
