When Pat ran up to me at mile 18, he had all kinds of encouraging messages from friends and family, and he also let me know that I'd gotten an email notification that AMY & TONY GALVEZ had just made a donation in support of my marathon! I can't tell you what a boost that gave me- I needed that little reminder right about then as to why I was doing this whole thing. It puts things in such a great perspective when you remember that the pain associated with running a marathon is temporary, and even now, just a day later, I feel almost back to good. But those with Leukemia and Lymphoma don't have the luxury of brushing it off, or of quitting if it gets to hard. That helped keep me going.
So thank you, Amy & Tony, for that much needed dose of perspective when the going was getting tough. And thank you for your friendship- you are both amazing friends that I feel lucky to have in my life!
