Hey all...I am pasting this from a letter that Nicki
is sending out. You should really donate!
Dear Family and Friends,
It’s Nicki Hulstrom and I must
warn you that you may want to sit down for what you are
about to read.
I have begun training to run
a 26.2 mile marathon to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society!
Maybe you felt the urge to
reread that last sentence, but it’s true, there has been
no misprint! I will be taking part in the PF Chang’s Rock
‘n’ Roll Marathon in January!
Many other participants talk
about lifelong goals of completing a marathon and I have
thought about it but NEVER figured that I would actually
do it! Well here I am, completely out of my mind training
to run 26.2 miles all in one shot!
Fortunately I have joined an
organization called Team in Training (TNT) that will provide
me with a great four month training program. TNT is a part
of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a non-profit health
organization dedicated entirely to finding a cure for Leukemia,
lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. There are 57 Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society chapters that support research, patient
financial aid, education, and community services. Everyone
on my team is raising funds to help stop those diseases
from taking more lives.
I have committed to raising
$2,200 to support the Society, and would love your support.
Your donation will help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s
mission of finding cures and saving lives. What’s more,
your donation is fully tax deductible and over 75% of the
$2,200 (and 100% of any amount above $2,200) will go toward
research and patient services.
There are two ways to donate:
-
Go to my very own ‘Nicki
has gone CRAZY!’ Training page:

Click on the left hand side
to make a contribution.
-
If you receive a copy of
this letter but do not have internet access, contact
me by phone and I will send you the appropriate form
and a pre addressed stamped envelope to send it back
to me.
I will gladly accept donations
after October 20, however the sooner I meet my fundraising
goal, the better I can focus my energy on preparing for
the marathon. I also encourage you to pass this letter (or
the URL above) to anyone else who might be interested in
helping with this cause. Whatever amount you can give will
help- every penny counts.
Ice packs, Advil, and a personal
cheering section are certainly welcome, too!
Thank you again and with much
appreciation,
Nicki Hulstrom
