Day 49 of 98 Days...Halfway Point

Well we are at the halfway point.  It's hard to believe where the time has gone.  It just seemed like yesterday when I accepted the nomination.  It was at that point I knew exactly who I would like to honor with this fund-raising campaign and it was by asking they gave me the gift of saying yes.

I have learned so much about Tressa by reading the journal filled with raw emotion of what Tressa and her family wrote trying to understand what's happening to her, the fears, and the despair to the highs of seeing improvement to the tragedy of her death.  I admit I cried through most of it, it was so hard to hear about her battle with Leukemia and so many times when it returned she was so brave fighting back. But this disease shows no mercy or favoritism it doesn't know age or care and every time I open to write this daily blog I see her beautiful face and am always reminded why this campaign has to be successful.

And every morning when I open to see the new heartfelt dedications to other loved ones diagnosed and fighting or a now a memory of a sister, a mother, a teacher or a mere child on Light The App again I am reminded and driven to see the fund-raising continues and with your help reach the goal.

So at this halfway point I am reporting to you that we still have such a long way to go but I trust in people that if they understand a cause and they can believe in it they will rally and get behind the goal and make it happen.  There are so many prayers being made for the 900,000 affected by this disease and tears being shed every 10 minutes when a beloved is lost to blood cancer.  So as we reach out we are asking for help in spreading the word.  It's simple with donations we can fund research and find a cure so we never lose another life to blood cancer.
