The walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society took place on Saturday, October 15 with Valley National’s team of ten people. Though the day started out cold and windy, by the time we walked, it was just a bit breezy and very pleasant. Everyone had a colored balloon (red for supporters, white for survivors or gold for those walking in memory of loved ones) that was lit via an LED light. It was quite a sight, and I could not help but feel overwhelmed at this large group of people gathered together for one cause. There was so much heartache and so many personal stories in this large mass of people. But, there were no tears. Just a feeling of happiness and power to fight for someone or something that needed some warriors.
I am very pleased to announce that our team raised approximately $6500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – a wonderful contribution that will surely go a long way towards blood cancer research. And, we couldn’t have done it without your support.
I wish to thank you all for your support and contributions to this cause, as I feel both humbled and blessed. If my worth is calculated by my friends, neighbors, and family, then I am truly a rich person.
Thank you all again!
Love,
Donna Young & Team Dare to Move Yourself
