Hi All:

Just wanted to share with you guys, that although tired from walking 24 hours with only a 15 minute break one time, but I was at Relay from yesterday (Saturday) 10 am through today 10 am. :) The whole group fund-raised $45000 and just in this 24 hour Relay we raised an additional $8000. :) The event was good, we had many people both survivals, caregivers, as well as those whose loved one has left already and it was just great seeing so many people being in one place for the same good cause. I thought of every single one of you as I was walking with my backpack on that had my parents' urn in so they could walk along with me. :)
I wish you all the very best! It's only 6:30 pm but I'm ready to go sleep. ;)

    Thank you so very much

    What a wonderful thing for you to do; for your parents, for us, for everyone.  24 hours with only a fifteen minute break is quite mind boggling, and I'm glad you're young and can handle it. 

    Do you have any pictures to share. We need picutres. I like pictures. 

    Get ye off to sleep, and visit us with more of your experience.  You're parents are smiling down on you for sure (as they always are).

    AWWW THANK YOU

    Thats awesome!! Thank you for doing that. I personally am worn out after a walk through the grocery store right now, so it's very uplifting to hear about you doing this.I hope I can do that one day. I like to get out of my own problems and help other people as much as I can. GO YOU!

    thank you Bunches

    Remember you were so involved with your mother's treatment and were always an inspiration for this board even after your mother passed.  Thank you once again for doing something for your mother and including us with an update.  May God Bless you with much love and happiness.

    Hey everyone,
    No, no don't
    Hey everyone,

    No, no don't thank! It is my responsibility and duty. I made that promise to my Mom back then and while promises are nice, but they only have value if they are kept.
    @Trubrit: I did take pictures, but I honestly don't know how to upload multiple photos to show in a message...>.<
    I wish you all the very best!!!
