Now For Something Completely Different

Turned out to be a great night.

So we headed back home last Friday. Home being Redwood City, CA. As you may have seen posted earlier Christopher is currently battling Leukemia. He's still going in for chemo and will be for quite some time. So far so good. Seeing him this weekend you would never know he's battling a life threatening disease.


This weekend the Leukemia and Lymphona Society was benefiting from the Light the Night walk which we were taking part in. We flew in Friday night and after spending a fulfilling Saturday afternoon at Miyaki met up with Christopher and all his family and friends at Burgess Park in Menlo Park. The walk itself started at 7 PM and wasn't limited to just raising money for Christopher. Prior to the walk starting we all received our flashing balloons. The walk consisted of a relatively short two mile loop originating and ending at Burgess Park via Middlefield Road. Many people honked as we walked and there were a number that asked what it was we were walking for. Christopher's team alone raised $3,440. According to the leaders at the walk that night everyone together had raised over $222,000. Despite being a fairly cool and breazy night everyone seemed to have a good time socializing prior to, during and after the walk and raising that much moolah certainly didn't dampen anyones spirits.

Thanks again to those that helped with donations.
