Briefly, I am currently training for the Rock & Roll New Orleans Marathon, which takes place at the end of January. As usual, training is going pretty well, but fundraising is a bit of a struggle.
If, like many people, you find yourself looking to make end of year charitable donations for tax reasons... look no further! Donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and help to find a cure for blood cancers. You would also be helping me to meet my fundraising commitments, for which I would be eternally grateful ;-)
Current Fundraisers:
Jams for a Cure
In the fall I made a little over 300
jars of homemade jams, marmalades, chutneys and sauces... using local produce
(including some from my own garden)... with the intention of selling them at a
local craft fair. The craft fair has come and gone, and I still have some
inventory.
If you are looking for unique (and delicious!) stocking stuffers or hostess gifts, please let me know and I'll send you the full details on flavours, sizes and pricing.

Training update:
This coming Sunday we will be doing
our 18 mile training run. Normally, long training runs up to about 14 miles are
within my comfort zone. Tiring but not daunting...
Getting through the 16, 18 & 20 mile training runs... those still cause me some anxiety. So, think good thoughts for me on Sunday!
I'll be thinking about loved ones who have died of cancer... like my grandmother, my cousin, and my mother-in-law. I'll be thinking of loved ones who are currently battling cancer... like my great-aunt and my cousin. And I'll be thinking of loved ones who are enjoying life after cancer... like my grandad, and friends Keiran and Chris.
Research and patient support, funded by organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, are what gets people through cancer diagnosis and treatment, to where they can enjoy life after cancer. Donations made by people like you and I make that possible.
