Some inspiring news from Louise Seeley (who was the wife of NY Creative Director Bob Dion.)
I got involved in Team in Training, the fundraising arm of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I started training in January and ran my very first marathon last month in San Diego. I'm attaching a wrap-up letter I sent to my donors (I fundraised over $3,200). I've wanted to do a marathon ever since we used to watch the runners first come over the 59th Street bridge from Jay's apartment . . . I thought a lot about Jay during my training and the marathon and think he would have thought it was a pretty good idea to do this. The fact that it was for such a worthy cause that I've now become very involved in made it all that more meaningful. So now I'm a mentor for the next season of Team in Training. I really wanted to help other people have the same incredibly rewarding experience I had -- they can look at me and say, "Hey, if SHE can do it, ANYBODY can!". I met the best people and have made some really great friends.
