My friend Karen is running and has inspired her husband to run the Honolulu Marathon with her this December.  Since then, Glen has asked Josh to run and I have really well, sorta, bugged (but really its more like "motivated"!) - Josh into running the marathon with both of them.  Karen is doing it the *real* way - you know, where you collect money and donate it and stuff.  Since Josh won't be doing that I wanted to put a link to Karen's web pages on here so that anyone who wants to donate can donate money for her cause (A VERY GOOD ONE!), which is very close to my heart.  

Here is the link to Karen's page

All donations are going to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (I believe that is what it is called).  My cousin died just 3 years ago from Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, so this is definitely a  good cause in my eye.  She left behind her then 9 year old daughter.  My cousin was the most awesome person (*everyone* who knew her would agree) and there are still days that when I think about her dying - it makes me cry.  Talk about never thinking something like that would happen in your family - this was it.

Please donate to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through Karen's site!  Even $5 helps (just don't buy that Starbucks tomorrow morning and donate instead!).  Thank you!!!
