We get by with a little help from our friends

Have you seen the Willow Polar tower?  The Willow team has been crushing cans of Polar every Thursday to create this majestic structure.  Sadly, we will be moving out of our office soon.  We discussed what to do with the cans once the masterpiece has been taken down.  The team decided to donate the money to the ALF on behalf of my fundraising efforts, because they rock.
I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the support I have gotten from all of my friends and family.  I have reconnected with folks I haven't spoken to for some time.  I have gotten to enjoy hanging out with my friends and family at my fundraisers.  And last, but not least, I have loved running with my team.  Distance runs are much easier to swallow when you have good company!
Some future fundraisers coming up include poker at Jamie's house on the 27th (message me if you play and are interested), yoga on 3/10 (with the amazing David Lind), and, of course Superbowl Squares!

So much to write about since my last blog. Going in chronological order... My last fundraiser was a paint night at Muise Paintbar.  So much fun!  And look at the fantastic works of art we created.

Then there was the great flood of 2018, also known as the Boston Marathon.  It didn't just rain, it poured, and the wind, ugh!  Every time I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did.  So much rain!  But I did it!  And here are some pictures to prove it. It was memorable, to say the least.  I want to thank all of the folks that braved the rain to cheer me on.  John and the boys, my parents. This beautiful family The amazing volunteers at the mile 4 water stop.  Mary for being at the waterstop with a hug for me.  Jannine, Amy and Amy, Emily and Kevin, the drunk guys giving out beer at heartbreak hill, the drun...

All Dressed Up and Ready to Go!

I really wish that I was better about taking photos.  I totally embrace the "live in the moment, don't photograph it," motto.  However, it can be great to look at a photo and relive the great memories.  Also, when you are reading someone's blog, it is usually more appealing with a couple of photos to break it up a bit.  Oh well.  Let's just all use our imaginations... Lots has happened since my last post.  I was joined by 20 other wonderful yogis for my super successful yoga fundraiser.  Dave Lind, my first yoga teacher, led us through a beautiful series of poses.  Afterwards, we had tea and snacks.  It was lovely, and we raised $725 for the American Liver Foundation! Next, I met the amazing, inspiring Emily Mitchel for dinner.  For folks who missed my last post, Emily and I were matched up through the ALF's patient runner connection.  We had delicious pad thai and I got to know Emily a little better.  Emily is a wonderful ...
