Why I Run

I received this e-mail today, and with permission, I would like to share this with my heroes of the Honor Roll, and all my friends, family and supporters:

Hi Marci - I stumbled across your blog and wanted to reach out to you and thank you. My sweet, 3-year old son, Liam, is currently undergoing treatment at MSKCC. He was diagnosed in late February with neuroblastoma and through his treatment has been nothing less than amazing. My son inspires me every day and I feel like the luckiest mother in the world to have Liam as my son. The money that the Aubrey Fund raises has a direct impact on children like my son, and for your efforts we thank you. Keep up the good work and, again, thank you.

"I’ve got a heart that can hold love.
I’ve got a mind that can think.
There may be times when I lose the light
And let my spirits sink
But I can’t stay depressed
When I remember how I’m blessed

Grateful, grateful
Truly grateful I am
Grateful, grateful
Truly blessed and duly grateful"
