My personal message:

Dear Friends and Family,

      On October 17 , 2007 a close friend of mine, Aimee Melancon was diagnosed with a rare blood disease known as aplastic anemia.  Having spent the past four months in and out of hospitals and residing at the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge in New Orleans, Louisiana she has truly been what we call a "soldier".  Her courage has been an inspiration not only to me, but to all who know her. 

     In honor of Aimee's tenacity, I have challenged myself to do something way out of my own comfort zone.  First, run 13.1 miles without being chased, second face some intense tennessee hills, and last but not least listen to country music the whole time!  Fortunately, no distance is too long, terrain too large, or song too bad to stop me! (All for you Aimee!) 

      In less than 3 months, on April 26, 2008 I will be participating in the Country Music Half-Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee as an effort to raise money for the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation.  Please sponser me in my efforts to reach my goal of $10,000!   Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

     Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  Thank you for visiting my website and please stop by anytime to check on our fundraising progress!

   -Anne
