One of the vendors I work with on a regular basis donated to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on my behalf. Once I received notification of his donation I immediately send him an e-mail thanking him for his support. He replied back with this:
This one is important around my house. My sister had a double mastectomy today. Good luck on your run.
I totally had the wind knocked out of me. I had no clue(why would I?), but it was not the response I expected to receive. It almost instantly made me cry. It made LLS that much more real to me and made my wallowing in self pity over a sore foot so insignificant.

So you are still collecting money, even though you aren't going to run this one?
I'm still running with tnt, for lls, I'm just not running the Nike event. I'm running a local event
