Totally Inspirational..."Time Is Precious!"

I can't tell you how AMAZING an experience this is!  I know I still have a ways to go with my fundraising but, I KNOW I'm going to make it there...and I feel so energized by this whole experience!  Here's a picture from our Saturday training out at Hart Park.
These people are FABULOUS!

So,...let me tell you a bit about my week!  I think I just might be the busiest person I know!!!  LOL!  No,...really, I might be.  I've been busy with my boys and all their sports...organizing, informing parents, coaching, refereeing and the list goes on but, looking at my fundraising total, I knew that I needed to get myself back out there face to face with some business owners. 

I know, I know...it's a lot of work to go from business to business and I could mail out my letters but, I think it is really important for me to share my story with people.  It is important to me that my sponsors know my sincerity!!!

I revamped my letter and reflected upon my current total.  I went to the drawing board and thought of some fun events to share with my friends, I went out an searched for food donations for parties, and I visited some businesses that I hadn't yet gone to. 

Of course, at this point, I don't know if any of my visits have brought a donation to LLS yet but, I am hopeful!  I was invited to present my story to an entire Realty office near the end of this month.  I am really looking forward to it...and am grateful to the amazing man who runs the office.  From what I gather, he is one in a million,...a true do-gooder making a difference in everything he can!  I've never met him before last Friday but, I knew of his good by the flashing sign (outside of his office) always bringing attention to charities.  From our conversation, I gathered how much he truly cares for the mission of giving to others in need!  I look forward to meeting his team soon...and will update you then!

The highlight of my week's fundraising (for my youngest son Riley, who accompanied me) was the time he spent with that same man feeding the Koi in the fabulous work courtyard at the office!  How special for that man to take the time to make my little boy's day,...during his work-day!

I'll leave you with this...a quote from his flashing sign (I mentioned above):

Time Is Precious!!!

You bet it is!  Every family out there fighting blood cancer knows this all too well!  Time IS precious!  Every second of every day that someone is able to spend with you and touch your life, is a true blessing!  I want to thank that man for touching my life by sharing the great things he does for others and for inviting me to share my story with his team!
