Day 96 of...98 Days...Is it for you or for me?

You may have noticed I have been blogging for 96 days straight.  That is really nothing in blogging years I am sure there are those that blog more than once a day have been doing it for years now.  For me this was about a journey.  I committed to blogging about this fund-raiser that I am quite passionate about and thought not only could I share the ups and downs of this road but also selfishly hoped I could empower others to want to join me so we could fund research and find a cure for blood cancer.

What I learned from this experience is that there were days when I wrote about the importance of funding research and a cure that brought me to tears realizing that if I can't motivate others to understand the gravity more loved ones will be lost to this devastating disease.  Other times I found myself angry and frustrated that I wasn't a good enough writer to empower more people to want to join me in this fight.

So I was asked by others was this blogging for you or for me.  I would say both.  When you can put in writing how you feel it is a sense of relief and purpose for these past 96 days I was determined no matter how I was feeling to post a message.  And now we wind down to the last two days of this journey.  For those that followed I could never thank you enough I hope I lived up to the expectations and for those who stopped by I hope you took something away from the messages and you will consider donating to this very worthy cause of saving a life.  Because every night when I opened this blog and see Tressa's beautiful face it reinforces the importance of what we are doing so it never happens again and another precious daughter or loved one is taken away.
