Also a shout out to Oregon City Haggen Food & Pharmacy which made a generous donation of groceries to the event. This reduced my costs and made the event even more successful.

Thanks to everyone at Oregon City United Methodist Church who helped me raise $1100 for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS.) It was fun serving lunch to my church family and honoring Ashley and other cancer patients in the process. Thank you for making the fundraiser so successful!

This reduced my costs and made the event even more successful. ~Nick Here's a scan of an assignment Ashley completed just days before she passed away. The question, "Life as a Genius," was part of a larger assignment after reading "Flowers for Algernon" in her 8th grade literature class. From an 8th Grade Assignment. You'd have to know Ashley to understand how her response to such a question could be bold but humble at the same time. She desired to be great and to do great things. 'World Domination,' was one way she expressed that desire. Another way was by having a heart for helping others and as mentioned before, by doing so.
Ashley's desire to cure cancer is motivating me and others to work even harder at raising funds for LLS. Ashley's aunt and cousin are raising funds and awareness by participating in the the Eugene half marathon with me. Also, a shout out to the church I attend, Oregon City United Methodist Chuch which is letting me host a lunch there onSunday April 18th to raise funds for LLS. The Oregon City Haggen Food & Pharmacy has agreed to offset some of my costs by donating groceries to the event. Thanks to everyone who is getting involved whether it be by donation, by support, or by walking! Ashley's Uncle Dave Ashley's Uncle Dave is a local firefighter who participated in a stair climb on March 8th to raise funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). He did this at the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle alongside several thousand other firefighters who climbed more than 1300 steps wearing full fire gear and SCBA. Dave is passionate about this event, training relentlessly on his days off. In this picture he partnered with his co-workers to raise money by working at a local restaurant. He's been clear with me this is not about him but about his love for his niece. Thanks to all who helped him him raise more than $1400 toward a cure. He climbed more than 69 flights of stairs. A loud shout out to to Dave and so many others who made this event a success. Read more about it at his website. Way to go Joanna! My sister Joanna completed the Nike Women's half marathon in October. Congratulations to her acheiving this goal and a 'shout out' for making Ashley an honory team member. Both of them continue to inspire and motivate me, so much so I'm considering participating in a half marathon in 2010. Stay tuned for details. Visit Joanna's site in the future to see pictures from her personal milestone. Despite what her site reports for fundraising, Joanna met the financial goal of raising $3,300 for Team in Training and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Great job Joanna. We're proud of you! Ashley enjoyed helping others -- she had a charitable heart!
In this photo she is participating in her school's jogathon to raise money for the school to buy new equipment. Ashley's will and determination has inspired others. For example, Ashley's aunt Joanna is raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by participating in Team In Training. She has made Ashley an honory team member for her half marathon walk at the Nike Women's Challenge in San Francisco. Thanks Joanna! To support Joanna's efforts on October 18th, go to her TNT page. |
