My Mom and Her New Cause

My mother continually amazes me. She is old as they come (just kidding Mom...you are not old!!) but never ceases to amaze me. She has more energy than a teenager on speed! She has always been able to run circles around me and even as she grows older she continues to out run us all! She is now going to do the White Rock half marathon at 67 years old. I cannot tell you how proud I am of her...her will to not let life get her down and to keep on keeping on. This woman truly inspires me. She never gives up and she always comes out on top. She has hooked up with the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. So, she will be fundraising towards this charity in memory of my Aunt Frannie. She was a long time survivor of Hodgkin lymphoma, but the treatment for the cancer ended up taking her life this past month.

If you would like to donate towards Mom's endeavor go to the link below.
