    One more day left in August, last chance to donate for research and gas cards for needy servicemembers families that are fighting this fight.

    The Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS) is giving out gas cards; $15.00 for raising $250.00 on line and $50.00 for every $500.00 raised during the months of July & August. While driving home from the clinic yesterday we determined that all gas cards that Team Tomas would get will be turned over to the clinic to pass out to families that need help.

    We would be getting two birds with one donation, funding to help research for a cure and gas cards that would help families in need.

    I checked with the LLS rep and the clinic head nurse, both gave the okay for distributing the gas cards.

    If you can donate please go to:

    28 days left before Tomas leads the walk. We're sitting at 21% of the goal. I probably shouldn't have let him set such a high goal but 4 months ago it seemed do-able.

    Kohl's is planning on a $500.00 donation this week. We ran an add in the local newspaper on Friday (attached bmp)......not too much coming out of that, probably wasn't a good expediture of family money.

    Sorry for sounding like a broken record, Tomas' motivation really goes up when he sees donations in his name.

    Bad expenditure of limited funds on the newspaper add. No donations came out of it.

    We're sitting at 26% of Tomas' goal, I wise he wouldn't have picked such a high number.

    We're sitting at 34% with only 7 days left. I wish that Tomas hadn't picked 15k as a goal but now it appears that this is a good amount tied in with the 2015 goal of have one "JDAM" pill that kills the cancer and not the child.

    If you're leaning towards donating, now's the time.

    Please keep the prayers going for Tomas & all other children that are fighting this battle.

    About 23 hours until the walk, looks like Tomas will be leading 60-70 Walkers.....he's pretty happy.
