More Inspiring Comments

Many inspiring comments have come via email and on this website recently...


From a former co-worker:

"Way to go, Steve! I walked in the Light the Night walk a few weeks ago... and my kids' school is collecting change for the LLS this month... so it's a busy cause for fundraising! Two of my father's brothers have died before their time due to blood cancers, so I'm an "easy mark" for fundraising for LLS."


Another former co-worker writes:

"...my brother and his girlfriend are involved in Team in Training. They do several events every year and my brother has been to California and Europe for marathons."

and in a follow-up email:

"I have been thinking about joining Team in Training. My brother and his girlfriend have been mentioning it to me for a few years now. My brother's girlfriend's brother has leukemia and they are very dedicated. Last year the two of them raised $60,000!!!! Unbelievable."


From colleagues of my father:

"This cause certainly has a soft spot in my heart. My father was diagnosed with lymphoma and has since passed. Thank you for your efforts in raising awareness and funds for this cause. Good luck, I certainly know that your father is very proud of you and your efforts. Have fun while working for a good cause."

"Best of Luck with your fundraising efforts. Over the years I've also have done some fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It is a great cause and hopefully someday we will find a cure. I had a younger brother who died of Leukemia in 1990 at 29 years old. Thank You for your efforts and Best of Luck with your upcoming races."


From a few friends:

"Way To Go Steve! Best wishes for continued endurance as the temps drop."

"Wow Go You! That is great, best of luck with training over the winter and spring! Not fun training in the cold, ehhhh... good luck raising funds for all those who really need it!"

"Good luck on the race coming up in April."


From a new friend:

"I haven't even met you yet, but I'm so proud of you! It's nice to know there are still those willing to give of themselves to help others. Check your page, I made a donation. Best of luck to you in the race!"


From a team hero (David C. Wolovitz - Chronic Myeloid Leukemia survivor):

"My congrats to you and your supporters for a great job of fundraising and your tireless training efforts. It is people like Steve and his supporters that allow blood cancer survivors to know that they are not alone in this fight. I have the honor of being a team hero for the Eastern PA chapter and am alive today because of a Society funded researcher discovered my magic cancer bullet, Gleevec. Stephen and his teammates are the true heroes in this story - GREAT JOB Stephen!!!"
