Fundraising on both coasts!


West Coast Marathon Event for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
We are very appreciative that Ed's cousin Sue Wyckoff Mehrwein and her husband Jim have included Edward on their Team in Training homepage for an upcoming half marathon in Eugene, Oregon. Check out Ed's picture and story on the Team in Training website;

A message from Jim and Sue;
"Walking to Save Lives - Welcome to Mehrwein's Team In Training home page.
We are training to walk the Eugene Half Marathon as members of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. We are completing this event in honor of all our personal friends and family members who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! Please make a donation to support Team Mehrwein's participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. We hope you will visit our web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see our progress. Thanks for your support! Jim & Sue Mehrwein"

Ironically, we are making plans to visit Ed's beloved Uncle Don (Sue's father) in May near San Francisco, and we are meeting up with Jim and Sue at a family reunion. We are very honored that they have included Ed on their team, and commend them for their major fundraising campaign and amazing running feats!

Remember to check Ed's blog for upcoming information on the "Go Out and Make it a Great Day!" Race on June 5th on the East Coast!
