A call came into my voicemail at work while I was at a meeting. It wasn't a business call it was from someone offering additional words of encouragement and thanking me for what I have done and am still doing. This fund-raiser as you can see is counting down quickly. It really choked me up because I feel in the time we had we barely scratched the surface of what we were hoping to do.
The voicemail is from a father with a daughter as he put who is Leukemic but for now remains in remission and doing well. He was emphasizing the importance of what I am doing because of the efforts of fund-raising his daughter has a chance for a full cancer free life.
Timing is everything and I find it interesting this voicemail came today because my energy level is being sucked out of me by lack of response to my letters and e-mails. I even had a company ask that they be taken off my list they will not be donating and another telling me the subject is not timely enough. So even though the air sucked out of me today a little was restored with this voicemail asking me to please keep going and thank you.
So actually my thanks are to the man behind the voicemail I needed that push and you gave it to me. So yes I will be back tomorrow and the day after that asking for support and for everyone to spread the word. Because I just can't let these families down they need these dollars to fund research and find a cure because without it plain and simple of the 900,000 diagnosed with blood cancer we will just keep losing one every 10 minutes and I need to know we did everything we could to prevent that...won't you help?
