I am walking in the Indianapois Life 500 Festival for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in May. I have to raise $1200.00 for the foundation before April,10, 2002. My teams' inspiration is a 4 year old boy "Kyle" who is battling cancer.

I have had grandparents, friends and relatives die with various kinds of cancers. I know first hand how devistating this disease can be to the person affected, but also their families.

I have personally never done anyting like this, where I have to collect money. And also, I am pretty nervous about walking 13.1 miles.

At first I was hoping to collect above and beyond the required $1,200.00, but now I would be happy with the set goal.

If there is any way you could help, please contact me.
