    I raised $670 at work for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.
    Dunkin Donuts was a huge corporate sponsor this year and we asked every customer to donate $1.
    Some of our bigger stores raised close to 3000. The owner of our 8 stores cut a check for over $20,000 this week. :happy:

    My friend's mum who was also very special to me, died of cancer at the start of the year.

    I dropped some money in the collection tin at the Hospice when I visited my mum today - she is getting near the end of her fight with melanoma and multiple secondary cancers.
    She worked as a cancer support nurse for many years and was involved in fundraising for and setting up the very hospice she is now in. Life is strange.
    Thanks everyone who is supporting cancer research and treatment, and thanks Lee for getting us all motivated.

    I co-chaired a local 5k raising over $1500 last month! (this was a 2nd annual - 1st time was my daughter's senior project)

    It's the "Tata Trot!"
