I am so touched by the generosity of my family and friends. In only a couple of weeks your donations have covered over 50% of my goal for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training! Please know for me this is so much more than about the money... it truly is about doing what I/we can to make a difference in the fight against cancer. This week I heard from a dear friend who lost her precious 5 year old to Leukemia many years ago. My good friend Rev. Kathryn and I were honored to go to the Hill Country to preside over the internment of Taylor - who fought a valiant battle against Leukemia! I will never forget the moment we stood alongside her casket under the huge Live Oaks. Taylor is one of the many heroes who motivate me to press on!
Please know that I am hard at work at being ready to run my half-marathon on June 21. Matther of fact I have commited to my daughter to run a St. Patrick's 5K with her on March 15.
Did you know there is a slang phrase in our culture for what I do when I go out to train ...it is called "wogging"...a combination of walking and jogging!
If you ever want to meet up for a little wogging please drop me a note.

Is anyone able to receive this blog via a feed? I was able to get the old site, but not there seems to be no automatic feed. Please offer advice if you are able to.
I am stumped as well? I think I left somethin out when I moved to my new address but I am not smart enough to figure it out!
Wog on, Doug!
On behalf of our nephew Evans Culpepper, who is a leukemia patient at St. Judes in Memphis, and all the other people fighting cancer, we say thanks for your efforts and your support of a great organization.

For Evan, and all the other Evans in the world we have to join together to make a difference!
