Virtual 5-mile Run to Cure Blood Cancers

So as you know, I'm running a 5-mile race with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society later this month, in memory of my friend Caitlin, and in honor of the many patients that LLS helps every day. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children, so Liliana and I are training for this one together!

Saturday is our team's biggest training run in preparation for the race, the full 5 miles. Liliana and I need your support to make it up the West Hartford hills and back to our warm car!

TO PARTICIPATE, YOU CAN:

Make a tax-deductible donation of ANY amount (seriously, if you can only spare $5, it's cool) to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society this week and think of us on Saturday morning while you're still cozy in bed or leisurely sipping your coffee. We'll put your name on our stroller and know that you're running with us in spirit, both on Saturday and on race day!

Donate from the link on the right side of this page, or go here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ctwhv/momintrn14/sstuart

(if you see me in person, I can also process checks and credit cards directly for LLS)

--OR--

Get out of bed at 8 AM Eastern time on Saturday and run a 5-mile loop from your house, regardless of sleep or weather. Cancer doesn't take days off. We can think of each other while we run!

BONUS!

If you're local to the Hartford area and donate $25 or more, I'd be happy to offer you a bottle of Stuart's Own wine as a thank you (pick-up preferred, but we may be able to deliver). I know many of you love it and I'm happy to share a bottle from our wine fridge.

Sorry non-local friends, I can't ship the bottles, but I'll totally have a glass in your honor if you'd like.
