If you’re anything like me, you’re ready for signs of Spring! I heard the first peepers on Saturday as I cycled in the countryside…a sure sign! A pair of bluebirds graces our yard, crocus are popping up, and the streams are full and rushing like they have a purpose. My purpose is twofold: to fine-tune my readiness for St. Anthony’s Triathlon by intense and intentional training, and to raise more than the minimum funds for this event. I’ve nearly reached my fundraising goal of $4700 for St. A’s, but with your help, I can become a “Rock Star,” someone who raises $1000 over the minimum. I will celebrate my 61st birthday the week of St. Anthony’s – so let’s celebrate by exceeding and excelling! As I train, I visualize all who are helped by the funds raised for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to pay for research, education, and family services. Won’t you help me be a Rock Star??? YOU make all the difference. Just go to DONATE or make a check to LLS and mail to me at 305 Country Club Dr., SE, Blacksburg, VA 24060. Thanks and Happy Spring to you! Jan
