Day 98 of...98 Days...This journey has come to a close...

Tonight we will know exactly what the fruits of our labor have brought to fund research for a cure for blood cancer. Thank you all for the support you have shown to this very important cause.  The 900,000 affected by this disease depend upon all of us because without a cure they know within the next 10 minutes it could be them saying goodbye to their families and loved ones for the very last time. Harsh I know but very real.  So even though this fund-raising effort for this campaign has come to an end the dollars needed to continue the research have not.  I hope you find it in your hearts to continue to spread the word.  

Though this journey has come to a close for me Light The App the free iPhone application will always be there as another support mechanism for people to light that virtual candle and write a dedication, inspiration or prayer to a loved one still battling blood cancer or to one who as lost the fight.  There you can also continue to donate directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society so they can continue to fund that much needed research.  That is my gift to you and The Society that will keep on giving long after this campaign.  

To our honoree Tressa thank you for being our inspiration.  Every time I opened up the blog to write you were encouraging me to push even harder. Our hope is we touched people with your brave fight and story that they too will help us to find that cure so not another precious life like yours is taken abruptly and painfully away by blood cancer leaving the surviving family forever missing you.
