Welcome!

We're the Marathoning Mama's - a group of six women who have joined forces to train to run a marathon
while raising over $20,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. That's the Marathon part.
Between us we have eleven wonderful children mostly around the age of five and under. There's the Mama part.

Thank you for making our Garage Sale a Huge Success!

We are so grateful to everyone who came out and bought an old bike, DVD or brownie. You helped make our sale a wonderful event and raise over $2,500 for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.

The whole thing happened so darn fast, we never took any photos. It's hard to believe that not one of us snapped a picture of the MOUNTAINS of donated material we received. It was overwhelming - and not just because we had to unpack and display it all. Thank you to everyone who donated goods and their time. We had some amazing volunteers helping with the bake sale, childcare and just general helpfulness and to them I bow down and kiss their feet. We could not have done it without you!

An even bigger Thank You goes out to our "unofficial" Marathoning Mama,
Sundog. Although she's not running the marathon, she's been our biggest helper, supporter and whiner-listener. I'm adding her to our Marathoning Mama's roster in hopes that you'll hear from her soon.

In lieu of a photo of the Gigantic Garage Sale, I'll leave you with this photo of Betty, being monstrously disappointed by her dinner at the MM's planning meeting last week. While we were all scarfing down burgers, she went the healthy route by ordering a "sculptural" spinach salad. She'd probably like me to add that she'd just run "Kenyans" for an hour and a half, prior to the photo. Doesn't she look pissed?




Again, big thank you to all who came out to support us. We'll be posting information about our next fundraiser ASAP!

Marathoning Mama's Gigantic Garage Sale!

That's right - a monstrously huge garage sale, full of all the stuff you never even knew you needed and at least five things you really, really did. Shop our amazing amount of donated goods and you'll be amazed at the bargains you find. All proceeds go to the LEUKEMIA/LYMPHOMA SOCIETY, so you know you're shopping towards the cure. Doesn't that make you feel all warm and gooey?

Speaking of warm and gooey, we're also having a Bake Sale! Now you can munch away on a caramel brownie while you browse our fabulous selection of paperbacks. Then take home the entire tray and pretend you made them yourself, while you were really relaxing in the shade reading one of your fabulous new novels.

This is a sale not to miss!
