Thanks!

Ijust wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for their support and donations. I was able to make my goal of $500.00 and in fact, just surpassed it. The total is $505.00

I was of course supported in my walk, not only monetarily, but with my walking partner Didier. As well, while not there physically, both my parents and indeed all of you walked along with us tonight.

I spoke to my parents immediately after the walk tonight and they indicated how proud they were of me, in fact, it is I who am proud of them. They have begun their walk on the path to battle my Father's Lymphoma. I know they join me in thanking you all. And they appreciate your kind words of support, prayers and positive energy.

Thanks again.

So who wants to walk next year?

Me? Shameless?

Well, tomorrow night I will be walking around Ile Ste-Hélène, shivering, in the cold, damp, rainy, autumn weather, doing my part for the Light the Night walk...

...and I'm only $55.00 from my goal of $500.00

If anyone gets the urge... there's still time.

Hey... it can't hurt to ask!

Walking for my Dad.

As I mentioned back on September 6th, I will be walking in honour of my father this year at the annual Light the Night Walk (Marche Illumine La Nuit) This is a walk at night around Ile Ste-Hélène, open to individuals, families, groups and companies to help raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada . All money raised fund its lifesaving research, patient information and support programs. (All monies raised in Canada will remain in Canada for research and patient services.)

Today, my father received the first of 8 chemotherapy treatments and, knock wood, all went well. It was a long arduous day. My parents left the house at 6:30 am to get to the hospital for 7 am and only arrived back home at 4:30pm There was extra work to do today, they went over then endless list of possible side effects, discussed the clinical trial and so on. For as tired as he was when I was speaking to him tonight, Dad sounded in very excellent spirits.

If you'd be interested in sponsoring me, you can do so online HERE. My goal is to raise $500.00. Anything you can give is most incredibly welcome, but that said, all I can really ask is what we've received already from so many of you, and that is your positive support, energy, kind thoughts and words, they in themselves already help so much. :-)
