Here's the deal
So, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society contacted me a while back and asked if I'd be willing to send mailings to a bunch of my neighbors, personally asking them to donate to LLS. I said sure and sent out the mailings the day I received my packet of info, which included personal notes from yours truly. Always a pessimist, I suspected no one would respond. (My neighbors are deadbeats.) I gave them a suggested deadline of 18 days ago, and I didn't receive a single donation. (See, they're miserly slackers!)
Aaaaaanyway, I have made small donations to all sorts of places for friends collecting for this and that in conjunction with a marathon or triathlon or whatever. Having never done anything more athletic than chasing after a three year old for a couple hours at the park, I am akin to a single woman who constantly goes to wedding and baby showers, never getting her payback. So, friends, this is your time to shine. We all know leukemia and lymphoma are really, really bad and that we need to find a cure. And you all know you could use some good karma. If you would like to help out and make a donation via moi, leave me a comment or email me, and I'll give you my address. Unfortunately, I don't have some fancy donation site set up with them, so you will have to send me a check.
Please make your check payable to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and then I'll forward it to LLS. On behalf of all the families who are hoping for a cure, thanks very much for your generosity.
Gratefully,
Fran

I will hook you up, only if you can meet me for lunch next week : )
#3 No, thank you!
Amanda - that's great. You have officially been scratched off my "miserly slacker" list. The only other people are my parents, who already donate money to LLS on a regular basis. My dad, in particular, raises quite a bit of money for them as well.
NO ONE ELSE IS OFF MY LIST. ;-)
#4 Thank You!
Franny, thank you for doing that! Even though I'm not training with them this year, I'm still donating and can't wait until I have time next year to run with Team in Training and raise tons of money for LLS again. You are awesome; this is a cause that means a lot to me! Love you!
