Well Done Julie!

I would like to publicly thank our journal friend, Jules.  She took part in the Race For Life today to raise money for cancer research.  This year she had asked if she could dedicate her run in my name.  I was touched and so happy to accept.

It was pouring with rain and I know that Jules has not been feeling good herself lately but she went ahead and took part regardless.

She raised £400!!

Julie e-mailed me some pictures and gave me permission to use them on my journal.

Jules, I am so proud of you!  I know you have battled and are still battling your own demons.  You are a star my friend and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.   It is because of  people like you that research is funded for new and better treatments. So many will benefit.  Hopefully, one day cancer will be a disease that is history.  Big hugs to you. I certainly  wish I could hug you in person.

Now, dear readers, can I ask you to pop over to Julie's journal and congratulate her?  Also there is a link on her journal where anyone wishing to donate can still give for the next seven days.

Here is the link

JULES

Go and give her some congratulatory and uplifting comments, she deserves them.  Thank you.

Love

Been over to Jules site and sent my congradulations. It is so wonderful when people think of others and not only themselves.  We all pray that one day sooner rather than later a cure will be found for all cnacers, and it will be thanks to all the millions of little people who raise millions of pounds worldwide for research. love sybilx

Great Job Julie !!   Those types of events are not real fun in the rain or extreme heat.  So many people are touched in one way or another by this dreadful disease...we must find a cure.    Linda in Washington state
