Awe-inspiring
I hung posters at work this morning telling my co-workers I am running for a cure with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and within hours had my first awe-inspiring moment. I was approached by someone I work with every day and he told me he is a two-time Lymphoma survivor! How amazing that 12 years ago he had a 60% chance of losing his life to Lymphoma and today he is an otherwise healthy fiesty man! I suppose I have unfairly passed judgement and assumed that my co-workers wouldn't understand my motive. Here I was offerred a donation by someone whose life has been personally touched by Lymphoma and I would have never thought to tell him I was running for the LLS. My first official day of fundraising and I have been touched by an amazing story within hours. What an amazing experience this will be, what an amazing experience this is already.
