Regular readers of this blog should, by now, be aware of how important my friend, Belle, is to me. I am infinitely thankful that I met her back when I was training for the 2006 breast cancer walk, and she enriches my life in countless ways. Today, I want to give a huge thank you to Belle, Gary, and Sammie, who gave a generous donation to Mom and me yesterday. Their support means so much to both of us, and we are so grateful. I will miss having Belle by my side on this year's walk, but I know that she'll be with us every step of the way just the same.
And I also want to thank my coworker, Ben, for his contribution to the walk. I have been hesitant about saying too much about the walk at work, because I in no way want to pressure my coworkers to give me money. But Ben offered all on his own, and as soon as I sent him an email last night with links to the walk website, he sent in a donation. In addition to having a generous spirit, Ben is a tremendous athlete. He has patiently answered all of my many walk-related questions, such as: "Ben, look at my sneakers--do I need new ones?" "Hey, Ben, I have tons of blisters. Should I keep walking on them, or should I take some time off?" "Gatorade, Ben, or Powerade? Which is better?" For his helpful answers and for his donation and friendship, I am so appreciative. Thanks, Ben!
