Upon opening the envelope I had a brief sensation of déjà vu ... I'd seen that striking image before ... a photo-card made by Rinda. She and her beautiful daughter Clara were thanking me for supporting them with a (small) financial donation as they train for a sponsored half-marathon in aid of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
You can read all about WHY they are supporting the cause right here.
I lost a dear school friend to leukaemia 40 years ago and while much progress has been made in treatment since then, there is still a long way to go! Rinda & Clara have raised a massive 85% of the target they set themselves ... perhaps with a few more donations they can exceed it!
Good luck girls, both with the training for June 2nd and with smashing that target!

Lovely card! I received an unexpected envelope from Rinda, too - so blogging has not only brought us friends & happy mail, we also get to help a great cause. Just makes me smile!
So beautiful :) x
It's so wonderful that they are so near their target. That's the power of the internet..and it rocks!
Beautiful and yep wonderful they are so near their target :)
Thank you for this post!!! I've been really busy and am just now getting around to blog reading, and this really made me smile. I will remember your dear friend when we train and run. The LLS is truly a terrific organization. Thanks again for your support,
Rinda
