Two Weeks to Go & a Shout Out to BU!

Linette - a close friend and fellow walker - has collected $165 at work!  Linette has had a very challenging summer, but still signed up to walk with Team Suzie on October 15th.  The fact that she signed up despite all that has been going on means more to me than I can even say.  And even though this is not a cause that directly impacts her family, she will be out with our team in just two weeks.

She raised the donations by posting the walk form on her door - and her team in the Institutional Research department responded! 

To give a sense for what these donations have accomplished thus far:

* A donation of $50 makes possible a Family Support group with a trained facilitator where comfort can be found and experiences can be shared among patients and family members.

* A donation of $100 helps supply laboratory researchers with supplies and materials critical to carrying out their search for cures

And there is another $15 to apply towards other important ways to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  So the team at BU has made a difference to a family facing a blood cancer - I haven't met most of her team, but wanted to send my thanks for their support!
