Much to report: Marathon, Wipeout, and Myla's 1st Birthday!

So, I hope all of your emails, blogs, tweets, and linkedin's, have not been overly bombarded with updates from me. A lot of fun stuff has been taking place and I am excited about all of it. Top of the list is Myla's First Birthday. She turns one on May 24. I will definitely dedicate a post to her with pics of her Birthday and all that, but here are some adorable pics to hold you over. Myla is the light of our family. Her happiness and huge smile are magnetic, sucking everyone in with her genuine lovey self. I smother her all day long because a million kisses a day is just not enough for me, I am always left wanting more. I love and adore her and thank God every day for her.

Next on the list is the marathon that I will be running. I am running the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco, CA on October 16, 2011. More importantly however, is that I decided to join The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training and run on behalf of two of my family members and all those who have battled with blood cancers. As I've mentioned before my Uncle suffered from Leukemia and lost his life when he was in his 30's. He left behind my beautiful Aunt and their two boys, my amazing cousins. Although my Uncle is not here I know that he is in a better place. I am grateful for all those who dedicated their time and effort on his behalf.

My Father-in-Law also battled with Lymphoma for many years. It was an extremely difficult road for him and his family to say the least. And in the end it was a battle that he won. He is a happy, healthy and very loving Husband, Father, and GrandFather. I am indebted to this wonderful charity for what it does for others who suffer these serious illnesses and this is a small way I can give back. I really do need help from all those who are willing and able to.

By joining the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training (TNT) I've committed to raising $3200 for this charity. If you would like to contribute you can help in one of two ways, or both if you would like. Professional Choice Insurance (PCI) has volunteered to donate $1 for every "like" on the PCI fb page, maxing out at $500. Please go to the PCI fb page by clicking here and press "like." If you would like to make a personal donation please go to my Fundraising page by clicking here. I wanted to thank everyone in advance for their incredible support!

Ok now, for those who missed my previous post about wipeout. I MADE IT! I actually do the course this Wednesday. Here are some of the pics of when I went to the final audition. It wont air for a while, since they film ahead of time. However, I will be sure to post the date when it airs as soon as I find out.
