Kindness…

10-15-2010: A student came to our classroom today all decked out in his THINK PINK outfit, dug into his pockets and pulled out a fist full of pennies, nickels and dimes and told me, “Mrs. Harmon, I want to help make a difference….this money is from my piggy bank and it’s for your Making Strides walk.” Yes, I cried.

Hackley’s Relay for Life- May 1, 2010

The times, they are a changin’.

My 9th grade daughter Kathryn asked me today if I would join her team at Hackley School’s second annual Relay For Life® event on Saturday, May 1st! Needless to say, I was honored and touched by her commitment to start her own fundraising team for the American Cancer Society’s signature event. As you may know, I have taught at Hackley for the past 17 years and it has been an honor to see Hackley and the ACS form this wonderful partnership. And better yet, I will step down as team captain (for this event) and follow Kathryn’s leadership role! Yes, life is indeed good when your child embraces such a worthy cause and role. (more…)

A Time of Thanksgiving….

November 2009

As I am gearing up for my last treatment on Tuesday 11/24 and preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday, I think of all of the people for whom I am grateful. I also think about how blessed I am to be alive, especially after my recurrence last September. I am truly grateful to you, my family, friends, TEAM members and donors for your ongoing love and support through my year long treatment protocol and for supporting my efforts with the American Cancer Society’s 2009 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. I am relieved that my treatment is coming to an end and am looking forward with HOPE in my heart.

I am honored and proud to report back to you that I am, once again, the #2 fundraiser in the NATION for Making Strides. This year with the help of TEAM SUE HARMON, we raised over $88,000 bringing my eleven year fundraising total to over $542,000…and still counting! There is no way I could have raised this amount of money without your incredible generosity, support, love and well wishes. I know we all have charities we choose to support each year, and I am incredibly thankful that you continue to support my efforts with Making Strides! Even in tough economic times, cancer does not rest – as I have learned first hand! Together, we are indeed Making Strides in supporting research, funding patient services, spreading awareness and education about the disease as well as supporting advocacy. Our donations are making a difference in people’s lives.

This Thanksgiving, please know that I am thinking of you and yours, and how grateful I am for your unending support. I think of all of the people we have directly helped over the last eleven years, myself included. I also think of all those we know and love who have and continue to face hardship and illness and those who we have lost to this dreaded disease.

The Harmon family wishes you and yours a Thanksgiving full of love, good health, happiness and hope.

I am Thankful for you!

Sue



2009 Making Strides walk details…Please join me!

I have decided for the 11th year to join the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) walk on Sunday, October 18, 2009 at Manhattanville College. MSABC… is a non-competitive walk that takes place in more than 100 cities across the country. My annual participation in the MSABC walk helps raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research, patient services, education and advocacy. I hope that many of you will once again join me on the walk to show your support of this very important cause, which has affected too many we know and love.

Dear Family and Friends,

RELAY FOR LIFE, FOLLOW UP

Thanks to all who supported Hackley’s Relay for Life this past Saturday! It was a great inaugural event, raising awareness and nearly $26,000 for the American Cancer Society! I was honored to participate in the event and was amazed by how many Hackley students shared their stories with me about how cancer has affected their lives. (more…)
