Last night we had a dinner at Heather's house to honor our volunteers and all those who make London's Run a success. For those of you who weren't able to make it, we missed you and wished you could have been there. We had a yummy dinner provided by Food City and then a London's Run Trivia Quiz. Then there was a little program led by Heather where she named our 2 volunteers of the year: Shanda Riggs and Michelle Solomon. A nurse from Phoenix Children's Hospital shared her experience working with children who have cancer and how much fundraisers like this mean. Then we presented the Wendt and McElhaney families with the money we raised for them. They were able to share a few words too. After emphasizing that London's Run's mission is not to just raise money for cancer patients and PCH, but it's also to provide the opportunities for families to do something for someone else and raise awareness about these childhood cancer, our 2008 net total of $40,000! It was a really neat evening and was an excellent way to close an excellent year!
