There is an Amazing Race on TV and then there is another Amazing Race for all of us. It's the Race against time. It seems no matter what we are in the middle of we are racing against the clock. Everything we do on the other side of it has a time limit attached.
For me it's become an Amazing Race against funding research and finding a cure for blood cancer. It's the fund-raising campaign that started over a month ago and will commence on April 24. Everyday I feel the time tick and every 10 minutes as hard as it is to hear we lose another to this devastating disease. So my team of four have literally reached out to thousands of people and asked them to join this fight. To family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances and others we never even met. Just trying with everything we have to gain traction and hoping people feel a connection and want to be a part of something that ultimately can save a life and a child's life at that.
Some days it feels like we are making tremendous headway. Other days this fight falls upon ears where other things in a person's life are more pressing. Sometimes you know if that person you are reaching out to have not been touched by blood cancer your quest to get them involved seems to have come to an end.
But I can't stop asking for participation and that $1.00, $5.00, $10.00 donation or more because without it funding research cannot happen and a cure is not any closer. Because that Amazing Race I am in is a race for a Parent who just learned out of nowhere their Child has Leukemia. And they are now facing their own child's race against life or death.
Won't you please get involved... http://in.llsevent.org/Pam
