Hello Family and friends,
Please visit the link below and donate to a good cause. Our friends Rachel and Joe, are running a half marathon AGAIN, (they are so impressive). The funds raced go towards the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. These two are truly inspirational. We feel so blessed to not only know them, but have them as a part of our lives.
