In just one week from now, I will be leaving from Hershey Medical Center with 14 other runners on a 24-hour journey to cover the 135 miles from Hershey to Penn State. This running relay will be to bring hope to the families of the Four Diamonds Fund, families whose battles against cancer extend far beyond those 24 hours. I am honored to be running as part of this year's Hope Express and cannot wait to hit the road three times throughout the 24 hours for these incredible children and their families.
While spreading the word about what the Four Diamonds Fund does, our mission is also to raise money to help these families better fight their battle with cancer. Donations can be madehere (select Organizations, and then Hope Express - Darian Leib). No donation is too small, and every little bit helps take THON one dollar closer to beating last year's total of over $7.8 million raised for the kids! For those who have already donated, THANK YOU so much from the bottom of my heart! I am still waiting for an exact list of online donations, but your letters and support mean the world to me. It is only with your love and support that I have been able to even dream of participating in this event.
I will be (or try to be better at) updating my blog (http://starsinthesky24.blogspot.com )over the next few days as the event gets closer, and I will sure to write all about the experience when I return from Penn State next week!
Thank you again for all your support!
For the Kids,
Darian
