I am in Nashville.
My old stomping grounds.
To run this race in memory of my mother.
Who left us all too soon.
Leukemia and Lymphoma know no bounds.
Insidious diseases.

And, of course, The Bird and Augie..
My mother would so love all your devotion and drive to this endeavor.
And I love and thank each and every one of you for it.
I could never do her justice.
Never.

You go girl. Your Mother has to be smiling a huge smile of pride as you honor her.
I don't know how I missed your fundraising, consider it done... better late than never...because you know LLS is the charity that has my heart and soul.
I have a feeling she will be running alongside you!!
Your mother would be so proud of you. Good luck in the run today, I agree she'll be running right along side of you.
Go Mama! I don't know how I missed your fundraising either.
Your mom raised a fantastic daughter. I'm so moved by your efforts.
xoxoxoxo
I'm proud of you Mama. TNT and LLS are great organizations to be involved with, and they help SO many people in this world. I did a TNT half-marathon back in 2008. It was awesome!! Good luck out there on the trails. You're gonna do great!! GO TEAM!!!!!!!!
We love you and are so very proud of you!!! You go Mama!!!
I have been awed by your desire to do something so worthwhile in honor of your mom.
You are doing such a wonderful thing. Your mother would be so proud of you.
Good luck! Sending you successful race thoughts.
Oh but you do ... each and every day you are a tribute to her .. your involvement in the church and how you've raised Augie and The Bird .. your big heart .. all a tribute to her .. and we are all proud to support you in this ... xo
What a fine tribute you are to your mother.
Run mama run.
You go girl! I know you can do it...
I just now donated, because I put it it off before, which one should never do. Run well, and cheers!
She was singular -- an amazing woman that I really loved. Have a great race for a great cause!
How did I miss the sign up sheet? Love to contribute. XO
You make us and your mama proud! Go girl. I'll be rooting for you!
((hugs))

So awesome!!! Hugs!
Best of luck, Mama. You rock.
I don't know how I missed your fundraising either...but I am working on raising money for the LLS too. I volunteered to help with the LLS Neighborhood Drive in memory of a very talented co-worker who passed away unexpectedly from leukemia last year. Best wishes and good luck with your race. xox :-)
What a tribute.........she knows I am sure of it...........feeling bad I sent you nothing.....I am guessing I didn't realize what you were doing or something.....I AM SO SORRY....but CONGRATS on doing this on her behalf!
