Fundraising for the Leukemia Society

Our plan is to travel from Chattanooga, TN, north via Glacier National Park, to Banff National Park, across the Icefield Parkway and onto the Alcan Highway into Alaska. We will be passing through Watson Lake and the famous Sign Post Forest where, this time, we will leave our sign too - and one for all CML'ers too. We will be stopping at many of the places along the way, taking in what we missed on our rush northwards last time we were up here.

Fairbanks would be our first main stop in Alaska after which we will be driving north of the Arctic Circle up to Prudhoe Bay, down past Mount McKinley and Denali National Park to Anchorage, Seward, Whittier and maybe even Valdez. Hopefully during this time we will experience the Northern Lights and be able to take some wonderful photographs of that too. On the journey down south, we will be traveling through Kluane Lake area into Whitehorse. We then want to travel into Haines and Skagway, Alaska, before heading back into the lower 48’s through the beautiful British Columbia. The ride in the USA will include time along the Pacific coast states including Washington, Oregon and California then into Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, hopefully to the Texas coast once again, Florida, Alabama back into Tennessee - just to mention some possibilities. We anticipate traveling around 15 000 miles in total. We will be taking donations and pledges per mile, raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society all along the road. The motorhome will be 'decorated" and the media, tv and radio are going to be involved in all of this. We will be sending regular emails and will hopefully be able to update our blogsite from out there - this will depend on what type of connection we will have. At the moment when we travel, I connect to the laptop through my cell phone which is tremendously slow and very frustrating.

We are able to be away from our home and business for around two months and will use all this time to travel and raise awareness for the need of donations for even more research and development of blood disease treatments and cures. Hopefully this will help bring more hope to the many people that are diagnosed with these cancers, and their families. If you are able and wanting to donate, pledge-per-mile traveled, sponsor, walk or help in any way, or want more information - please use the links on this page to go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society site or email me.
