THANK YOU! TO MY TEAM AND DONORS: 5K / 1 MILE RUN / WALK JUNE 28th 2015

So proud of my Team "RemissionMMPossible" today. 

big THANK YOUs to my Team and those donors who joined me in spirit. 

Together we raised about* $3000! 
( *some matching funds and other donations are still to come) 

What a fun day for me. 
I've never done a race or participated in a fundraising event before,
 nor had two others on the team.

There were speakers broadcasting music to to pump us up. A personal trainer/ gym owner led us in warm ups. Donated food, water, fruit, energy bars, lots of volunteers working to guide us in what to do and where to do it. Free Cancer cookbooks, origami cranes to make, Dr. Green from SCCA/ Fred Hutch spoke about the importance of Research and the role MoveMMORE has played. 

I can't wait to see all the pictures of the other teams 
soon to come on the MoveMMORE website.

Tips for visiting Cancer patients

http://cancerwife.com/content/tips-visiting-cancer-patients -- lots of good advice there.

It is very natural to show your care by a hug or handshake.

However, if cancer patients are immunosuppressed, any physical contact with them is not ideal.  It's best to just ask the patient if it's ok you give them a hug or hand shake: "Can I give you a hug?"  Remember that they are not trying to be unfriendly, they're just trying to stay germ-free and survive.

Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often have PICC lines in their arms or Ports in their breastbone area.  When giving a patient a hug, be aware of this.

ONLY TWO WEEKS TO GO TO REGISTER FOR THE 5K /1 MILE RUN/WALK TO BENEFIT MYELOMA RESEARCH AT FRED HUTCH
