trying to make a difference part ii - running a half marathon

I got a Thank You note from the NYPL - apparently a record 130,000 letters were written on behalf of the library. Even though they will have to cut back on a lot of programs, it won't be $37 million. I wish they were more specific about the exact figures, though... "enough funding has been restored to avoid closing libraries" just doesn't cut it for me.

Speaking of exact figures, I have decided to run a THIRTEEN mile half marathon in October. Now I will be the one doing the fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I'm really excited about this because not only can I potentially meet new people, but I can also feel more fit and, most importantly, actually make a concerted effort towards the battle against blood cancers.
