HOW did Team Linda do?
Our team raised $1850.00 BUT donations are still excepted until May 17th so you still have time! We don't have the team's time but we did find our race times - TIM 23minutes 04 seconds and MELISSA 33 minutes 44 seconds. We hope to finish faster next year but we are still very proud of this accomplishment.
BUT HOW?!
I can't tell you how hard/easy it was for each of us individually but I can tell you that I started and finished the climb with Tim's older sister Emily. We talked each other through it, both have colds and runny noses. They say exercising releases endorphins and puts you in a good mood. We were definitely in a good mood when we hit 95 flights, crossing that finish line with Linda watching over us. In the stairwell, there were pictures hung of all the people that are fighting or lost their fight to blood cancers. At just the right time, Heather saw her mom's picture, that gave her the strength to continue. This is a small hurdle compared to what the patients need to climb so YES we will do it again and again.

If you look closely you will see Linda's picture hanging in the middle of Tim and Emily.

WE DID IT! woohoo!
So incredibly proud to call this man MY husband. He continues to make the most of everyday for both his parents.

We had 11 people join us this year and hope to double that next year!
It was an incredible experience that we won't forget.
