Many months ago, Mom had the idea that for Dad's 60th birthday, we could make a difference for cancer patients and families and could help cancer research move forward. Thus, she began planning for two very special things: 60 cards to be delivered to current cancer patients, and a 5K walk/run/paddle raising funds for the cancer institute that provided extraordinary care for dad during his fight.
We are so pleased that both efforts succeeded, and so proud of our family! The weather was lovely, a terrific group of friends and family turned out and put on their "I [walked/ran/biked/paddled] dam far" t-shirts and hit the gravel and pavement.
Today cards will be delivered, and tomorrow Mom will have the privilege of sharing with PCI that we raised $4000. (I suppose I'm scooping the news, so if you're at PCI keep the secret for us.)
Our thanks to everyone who supports the Pink Palace clan!
