In Honor of Colleen Jacob: American Cancer Run 2008

Team Colleen

The kids race before the 5K Run/Walk. Sawyer, Logan, and Evan waiting to run.

Heather and I raised $555.00 in donations from our generous friends. We will let you know the total raised by Team Colleen as soon as we find out.

This year the cancer run was even more meaningful because Heather's mom, Margo was just diagnosed with Colon cancer. She had her surgery the week after the race, and is now home doing well. The pathology report just came back saying it hadn't spread at all! Now we have to wait to see what the Oncologist says in a couple weeks.Isaac jumping for cancer.
As tradition, we went to Colleen's grave after sunset and lit sparklers to celebrate her life and show her our love and how much we miss her.
Thank You Colleen for showing us strength, love, and the true way to live life. We all miss you very much.

Is there still time to contribute? Where can I send a contribution, if so. Roxanne
