Did You Hear What Happened to Me?

Last February, I joined the Hike for Discovery to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. On my first hike with the group, I fell 30 feet & cartwheeled down the side of the mountain. After rescue by helicopter and 3 weeks in the hospital, I spent 10 weeks in a wheelchair.

But, I'm all better now (nearly) and wouldn't have made it without the fabulous Patty who was one of the hikers and just happened to be a nurse who previously was an E.M.T. and the rest of the wonderful people from the group.

    Hi everyone - Thanks for visiting - I've raised almost $1,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Pretty good, given the fact that I shattered my ankle in a hiking accident in February and have been somewhat housebound ever since. But I'm getting better every day!
