It's only January, the race is a month away, and more that $2400 has been raised for cancer research so far, which is already $400 over my original goal. THANK YOU to everyone who has donated.
If you combine the fundraising from everyone from our team, we have collected well over $10,000 by now, collectively. I don't have the exact numbers, but I'm going to find out because I bet it's a lot higher than that.
Of course, with something like cancer research that's a drop in the bucket, so if you're looking to give to a really fantastic cause- this is a good one! The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has a small percentage of administrative costs and the bulk goes directly to supporting families of cancer patients and to researching for a cure!
There are a lot of problems in the world, and so many great causes. In this country, though, the leading cause of death in children in this country is still leukemia. So I am excited that in some small way, the generosity of people who donated (and also the generosity of people who bought my cakes and cookies, for they knew not what they were buying) will help people going through the ordeal of cancer.
I was just kidding about my cookies, by the way.
