Wow! How our lives have changed in such a short period of time! As you know, on February 16, 2014, Trevor was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The cancer acted quickly, and Trev ended up in the ICU on life support for ten days! The great news is Trev, with great strength and courage, has pulled through! He is currently going through chemo while he waits to have his stem cell transplant. There has been many moments of anger, hurt, sorrow, love, joy, and relief over the past weeks. But now, after all the tears have dried, I asked myself, what can I do? Well here it is. I decided to run! I can't run away from Trev's cancer, but I can run 10kms (I hope - I hear there is medical staff onsite in case my run is not a complete success ;).

What can you do to help? So glad you asked! As part of my run, I have joined Team-In-Training to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, and you guessed it, I am fundraising! Please help me reach my goal of $3000 (I want to get on the top fundraiser page :)) Any amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated, even if it's $10. It all goes to a great cause! Feel free to forward this link to friends and family! Together, we can make a difference in people's lives who are dealing with a blood cancer!

Want to do more? How about run with me (especially if you know CPR)!? I am doing the 10kms race with the Scotia Bank Calgary Marathon, but feel free to register for any of the races that day including the walks! I would love to have your support! Once you have registered, send me an email with your t-shirt size. I'm going to try to get a sponsor for team shirts (Trevor's Titans).

We have traveled a long road and will continue to for some time. It is with friends and family that help us pass the time, that makes this journey seem to go by a little faster. Thanks for your support, kindness, and the occasional distraction :)
