Yes, I'm still here...

I know it has been quite awhile since I've visited here to post any updates. So much has happened in the last two months, and I continue to make the journey towards operating the Beleighve Legacy Foundation. One thing I am doing is participating in the National Brain Tumor Foundation's Angel Walk in Denver on June 9th. I hope to meet many individuals who have been through similar experiences to myself, and to spread the word on Beleighve.

I would appreciate any support that anyone can offer. My goal is to raise at least $1500. Since I've never participated before I'm not sure how obtainable that goal is, but it is my goal none the less. To visit my page and make a pledge please visit here. And THANK YOU in advance!

And, moving forward, expect more regular updates on what I am doing, planning, and thinking!
