Donor Recognition: Up The Last Hill, Down The Stretch

Like the race itself, someone once said it's not how you start it's how you finish. Mirroring this concept in fundraising, I was fortunate from supportive friends and family to get off to a very strong start, sustain at even pace and, the best part, finish as a lot of people came in at the end to push me over my goal of raising $8,000 for cancer research at DFMC. This blog is as much about THEM (YOU) as it is about me and the running and training. Without further ado, I'd like to recognize the following donors:

Anne Barron (my mom's friend and first golf buddy), Theresa Sliney (great friend of mom's through golf), Kim McCown (cancer survivor and friend of our family), Candace and Paul Nash (neighbors and golf friends in Hopkinton), Gerry and Joy Arsenault (neighbors and friends in Billerica), Debbie and Doug Fogerty (friends in Billerica), Sheila and Carl Thieme (my cousin and her husband in Florida), CSJ of Boston/Bethany Health Care Center (very humbled here that a charity that is so special to OUR family donated to MY run and Dana Farber - Thanks Bethany!!), Bruce Hughes - BH Construction (in support of his Aunt Helen breast cancer survivor), Alan Waldrip (in memory of Walter Waldrip and in memory of Joyce Pepe), Steve Marquedant and his company Strategic Link (in memory of Betty and support of Heidi Marquedant), John Sullivan (in memory of Anna Sullivan and his mom Jean Sullivan), Andrea and Scott Lauzon, Kathleen Hughes and Family, Lisa Eautough and Family (Aaron - my pediatric partner's mom and family made a generous donation!), Joseph Vozzella and family, Bill Tierney - K&T Enterprises, Scott Corner (in memory of his dad Roger Corner and Betty), David Holmes, Theresa and Paul LaMarca, Cindy and Frank LoPresti, Laurel Newson, Mike Poppler, Jeff Zeichick, Steve Slaman, Rich Corbett (again!), Beverly Lees, WHEW!! I think that's everybody to date. Please let me know if I have anything wrong. I am the editor and publisher and can quickly correct. Thanks to everyone who contributed to a memorable experience this year!!
