Happy Birthday John


In Mark's eulogy to John, he asked us to remember John by going out and making a difference. Together with my mother-in-law, Jeremy and Vicki, we have created Team Sappet for the Jimmy Fund Marathon walk on September 16, 2007. Please join our team and help raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Research Institute. Walk the full 26.2, 13.1, 5, or even 3 miles. Every step is a step closer to a cure. Everybody is welcome to join!

If I can do this anyone can! This will be a great day and the more people out there the better. Here is the web site, check it out. http://www.jimmyfund.org/eve/event/boston-marathon-jimmy-fund-walk/default.html
Please join us ! Remember John and help others who will go thru his same struggle. What is giving up one day compared to the days, weeks and months he went thru.I hope to see you next month

After falling off the wagon for a 4 weeks, Auntie Barbara and I restarted our training today.Count us in.We still need to raise $200 each, so if any one has any "excess" donations we might get more people to walk if we cover the minimum goal for them.See you in September.

Megan,
We are so thrilled you joined the team! Thank you so much. As the date comes closer I will email all the participants with further details about meeting times and places. I do know that my sister, sister in law,and aunt plan on walking the half marathon and will meet us at the half-way point (lunch), so we can end together. As far as where and when...those details are still to come! We'll all be in touch. Thanks again!
