Along the path...

Someone I know works at a hospital that is raising money for their cancer center through a golf-a-thon. And his son is undergoing chemotherapy treatment for a rare blood disease (Langerhans cell histiocytosis) at that same hospital. Russ' goal is 200 holes of golf in a day! If you can spare some change and want to help in the cause, please let me know. The company I work for is gathering donations of any size this week.

One of the darling ladies I work with is organizing a team from KLAS to walk for Breast Cancer Awareness in the 2010 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure event on Saturday, May 8 held in Salt Lake City. It's such a great cause I wanted to give a shout out. It's also one of the days I wish I had a time turner necklace . I'll be in Millcreek Hollow in Marriott-Slaterville that day cheering them on from afar. I'm sure donations are always welcome... You can support the cause too by Joining/creating a team , registering to "Sleep in for the Cure" , or supporting the KLAS team! General info

Last June a friend of a friend (Brett) was diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer. After numerous surgeries and six rounds of chemotheraphy his doctor has still found some residual cancer. He is now undergoing what is called salvage chemotheraphy which comes as back to back bone marrow transplants. There has been a 5K run/walk put together to help raise money for Brett and his never ending medical expenses. If you, your family, or your friends are interested in participating or simply donating, please go to www.fafard5k.com .
