- My wonderful friend Christy Bukach has volunteered to donate time and creative energy to make fun and eye-catching postcards that I will send by mail to family and friends. These postcards will feature a description of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Team in Training, ways that you're able to donate (via the internet or check), and a photo of Mason (my puppy) in his running shoes! : ) These should be ready soon, so check your mailboxes!
- I am collecting items to hold a raffle over the coming weeks for those living in the Triangle area. Some items to be included are: one $20 gift certificate to shop at Harris Teeter at Duraleigh/Edwards Mill Rd. in Raleigh, one Starbucks gift bag (including a bag of coffee, two packets of VIA instant coffee, chocolates, and a large travel mug), two vouchers for a car wash at Auto Bell, one beautiful gift basket containing lots of spa goodies (thanks to the fabulous Lori Bodkin, owner of "Gift Baskets by Lori")two $50 gift cards to attend wine classes at Total Wine & More in Raleigh, and one $100 gift card to attend wine classes at Total Wine & More in Raleigh. I hope to also accumulate more items! I will sell raffle tickets for $5 for two tickets and $10 for five tickets. The drawing for prizes will be held on May 7, 2010.
- I have begun to seek out company sponsorship by large companies (both local and national) in the area.

Fund-raising definitely has the potential to be a daunting task. While I believe in my heart that this is an incredible cause, it is difficult to conceptualize raising $2,900! However, I am thrilled to be working toward such a noble goal, and I am enjoying visualizing myself reaching this goal. I hope that you will continue to follow my progress along the way and even consider donating your own funds. I am sure that I am able to be successful in contributing this amount to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to fund research and care for patients!
