A personal message from Amanda Goble:
Some of you have met Markie Rodgers, one of our Honored Heroes, and some may have been in touch with him and his family throughout your TNT experience. He is a not only a survivor, but one of your biggest supporters. Below is a poem he wrote to share with the team. So, as the training gets longer and we get closer to the final money dates, it is important to see why you have been working so hard!
IT'S A MARATHON WE TRAVEL TO,
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE
IN HOPES TO HELP MORE CHILDREN,
IN HOPES A CURE IS NEAR
OVER MANY MILES, THAT YOU WILL SHORTLY DO
YOU SHOULD BE SO VERY PROUD, SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!
I KNOW THAT THROUGH YOUR TRAINING
YOU MORE THAN ONCE WOULD SAY,
WHY ON EARTH DID I SAY YES
I'M SO BUSY EVERYDAY
YOU SEE, WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG BOY
'WAS AS SICK AS SICK COULD BE
LEUKEMIA THE SENTENCE
NOT GOOD NEWS FOR ME
BUT BECAUSE OF TEAM IN TRAINING
AND NEW ADVANCES EVERYDAY
I AM A PROUD SURVIVOR
I AM VERY GLAD TO SAY!
SO I HOPE I HELP YOU THROUGH
ALL THE MILES YOU ENDURE
SO YOU CAN NOW ENJOY
THE REWARDS THAT ARE IN STORE
I KNOW I AM YOUR HERO
BUT I HAVE A SECRET TOO
I ALSO HAVE A HERO
AND THAT HERO WOULD BE YOU!
LOVE AND KISSES
MARKIE!X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0
