In 6 hours I leave for Alaska!

I can not believe it - but the day has come for me to head up to Alaska. The big run is Saturday at 9:00 am Anchorage time! Between now and then my adventures will take me to the towns of Seattle, Washington; Anchorage, Palmer and Seward, Alaska.

Thank you for all your prayers and donations - together we raised over $6500.00 for Leukemia research! wow!

I hope to take all sorts of pictures - including one of me in the race - argh!

I have been blessed with all sorts of new friends via participating with the Leukemia society Team in Training - they are good people.
