I don't know if I mentioned this, but back when I did my fundraiser in the late summer/fall, I actually won an award from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for being the top fundraiser in the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter for the Nike Women's Marathon.
It was absolutely amazing - I got honored at a dinner while I was in San Francisco for the race and so much of it was due to you guys. I can't thank all of you enough (particularly randomize, for allowing me to do the T$ fundraiser)! And for those of you who sent me names of friends/family effected by blood cancers, I had their names on my race jersey. I can't remember who all of you were, but if you send me a message, I'll send you a link to the photo of the jersey with the names.
mikec51 - I live in Delaware, but I run with the Eastern PA Team because I got involved when I worked in Philly... now I stick with them cause I know the other runners (and patients and survivors). But I'm only like 5 minutes from the PA border anyway, so yeah, still almost neighbors.
