My name is Debby and I am a Cancer Warrior.  My story is long and boring and I'll save it for another day, as I'd rather talk about Zoe.  Because, well, I *am* her mom.

Zoe is my eight year-old daughter.  She is my heart, my joy, and a typical second grader.  She makes me laugh, and sometimes she makes me cry.  Usually I'm crying because she makes me laugh.  And she wanted to have her own team for the Light the Night for Leukemia walkathon we will be doing in September and October 2008.

But as we thought more about it, we wanted to have a place where we can talk about why we do what we do.  Why we are committed to informing people about leukemia and why we want to raise funds to help find the cure.  And as her mother, I am amazed at what I have seen her do.  I think children have the power to change our world.  So it is a great honor to roll out .... Team Zoe.  

Because we can do this. 

Your assignment for today is to tell us who you are.  I like to know where people are from.  We write lots of letters, so sometimes we might send you one.  I hope you all can stick around for a while.

 We've been working on a few things in the Team Zoe Store.  All the profits ($1 from each item) will go directly to our Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team Zoe fundraising effort.  To date, we have raised almost $1,700.  We are over half way to our goal of $3,002.

Team Zoe will be updating this site more often now that we are going to go full steam ahead!
