Day 59 of...98 Days...Here comes the Postmen

Practically at the midpoint and we are feeling like you just have to try a little bit of everything.  So with the help of two very loving people (our soon to be in-laws who we adore) we stuffed envelopes over dinner one night.  They brought over a scrumptious meal and we were like a well oiled machine letter here, one donation form, self addressed envelope and insert into larger envelope.  Rinse and Repeat you could say until another 450 letters were sealed and ready to go.

It was a wonderful evening we talked about our daughter and their son's wedding this summer and laughter ensued.  Then the conversation turned to the task at hand.  We showed them Light The App they hadn't downloaded yet they couldn't believe all of the heartfelt dedications that appeared.  They both made a dedication to their Niece Tressa that night.  It was extremely touching. It's so sad that I never had the pleasure of meeting our honoree but I do know in Tressa's memory I don't want another family to lose another loved one it's just not fair especially when it is a child who had not yet begun to live.

So the letters are ready and Tom and I are the new area Postman delivering our letters every night walking to neighborhoods and putting them in the mailboxes hoping that we can reach out to you and appeal for a donation.   So look for the new postmen wearing sweats, sweatshirts and sneakers and a knapsack, our letter carrier, walking their black and white English Springer Spaniel we will be coming to a neighborhood near you.  Please say hello and we hope that you'll join us as we reach out and collect $1.00, $5.00 every dollar counts so we can Stamp Out" blood cancer and find a cure so we don't lose another life as we do every 10 minutes from this devastating disease.
