This update is a long time coming. But we want to thank everyone for their tremendous support of Team Macie Ann during our "1st Annual Team Macie Ann Crawfish Boil." We're still counting donations and are stunned at how successful our first event has been. To date, we've raised more than $14,000.00 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on behalf of Team Macie Ann.

For those of you who were able to attend the crawfish boil in June, thank you. Thank you for turning out on such a soggy afternoon. 250 people stood by our side during torrential downpours and shared your enthusiasm and opened your wallets. We are overwhelmed with the warmth and love you all continue to show us as we struggle to live without our precious Macie.

We'd like to invite everyone to join us at the 2006 Light the Night Walk as we unite for one, incredible evening to remember those who have lost their battles and those still fighting blood cancers. We'll be turning in our total amount raised for Team Macie Ann that evening and would like you to see how your donations are being spent. Every dollar brings us one step closer to a cure for this horrible disease.

The Light the Night Walk is Saturday, September 9th in downtown Raleigh at Bicentennial Plaza. Please visit www.lightthenight.org
