Victoria trained from May to October to do her first-ever 100 mile bike ride in Moab Desert, Utah – the “Moab Century” on 9/17/11.
She was raising money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society via Team in Training Cycling in memory of her dad and aunt who both died young form Leukemia. Victoria exceeded her Fundrai
ning minimum of $3400 with donations from friends and family of $5600!!
I was so surprised and happy when a few au pairs came to me saying they wanted to organize a 5k walk for my Leukemia & Lymphoma ride in Moab Desert on 9/17/11. With a registration fee of only $5, a group of dedicated South African au pairs arrived at Starbucks in Potomac Village, set up a table and mapped out the route with Au Pair in America signs. We had about 20 walkers who came out on a Sunday noon – Au Pairs and Host families and a dog! Each walker received a water bottle, a kit kat for energy and a purple Leukemia & Lymphoma bracelet. With the registration fees and passers-by giving donations they raised an amazing $175!!
Thank you so much!
