A Time of Thanksgiving…. November 2009
Saturday, November 14th, 2009As 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
