Forgetful Jones?

In 2009, I was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  In 2009, my friend Mikey was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  In 2009, Mikey and his wife put together a team of people to walk in the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.  He set a goal of $1000, and much to our surprise, we well exceeded that goal!  So many people donated and we were overwhelmed by the generosity and well wishes from those all around us.  The night of that first walk was the first time since my diagnosis that I didn't feel alone, and every year since I so look forward to that one night a year where I can feel the comradry around me; I can feel "normal".

I have forgotten a lot of things, but I have not forgotten my experience and I have not forgotton the feeling of being part of something as big and beautiful as the Light the Night Walk. 

However, I fear many have forgotten.  Our team has raised a mere $180 since May.  A far cry from that first year, or the second, or even the third.  I'm hoping we can turn it around in the next 30 days.
