Hello fellow readers and bloggers!
Today I am trying to spread the word about a Run here in our town of Queen Creek in honor of a beautiful and courageous 6 year old girl who passed away last year from Leukemia.
The name of the even is called London's Run and the proceeds benefit the Phoenix Children's Hospital Center for Blood Disorders and Cancer. There will be a breakfast for purchase to benefit London's roommate Madison Barton, who just underwent a bone marrow transplant. There will also be a Blood Drive at the event. All entrants will receive a t-shirt and refreshments.
Why Our Event Is Special
The first London’s Run was a benefit event for London’s family in 2006 made possible by the caring support of the Queen Creek residents. London Solomon was a courageous six year old girl who fought a brave and cheerful fight against an aggressive type of leukemia (AML). Her grace still inspires all of us to take advantage of each new day without fear of doing hard things and cherishing our relationships with each other.
To read London’s story go to www.caringbridge.org/visit/londonsolomon.
London’s Run is a great day for accomplished and beginning runners alike to compete on a flat course, paved and unpaved, through the peaceful farming community of Queen Creek. The proceeds will go to children’s charities. Are you up to the challenge?

So to all my fellow Zonies!!! Get off your couch and get out to Queen Creek for this special event raising money for an AWESOME cause! I'm giving you plenty of notice too!!
Even if you don't come to walk, come to donate blood. You never know when you or someone you know is going to need blood. There is a commercial on TV right now that says 1 out of 3 people will need blood, and that stat couldn't be more accurate. Isabella received blood more than once and THE most crucial time was during her surgery to remove her tumor. It doesn't take much to donate blood and you could save someone's life! =)
Okay and even if you don't come for the walk or to give blood, at least come for the breakfast!! No one I know can deny food!!!!! hehehe Spread the word Zonies! So we can raise a record amount of money!
Hope everyone had a GREAT Christmas!

I am glad you are back I missed you! :(
Hugs- T
AWE! Thanks for missing me! =) I saw the picture of your little girl with Santa. That will be one to share with her when she gets older. =)
Thanks for being with us in spirit for the walk. I wish I could put something like that together for the kids. I signed up to give blood that day. My little needed blood during her surgery and if she wouldn't have received it, we could have lost her. So it's my way of giving back. =) David hates blood and needles so he told me this morning.... Have fun, I'll be watching from the sidelines! hehehe
