Lerner's Director of Marketing Melody Saputo was the driving force behind it. Dave and Mert Silbar of lent us their expertise. An energetic Shannon Ryan of the LRF and I rounded out the task force.
It was a great experience on so many levels. We worked hard, learned a lot and laughed often. Most importantly, we raised money for Leukemia research. Looking back, I am so proud of what we accomplished. I remember arriving early on the day of the Walk. It was like a microcosm of the process itself. It was a thing of beauty to watch the whole series of events unfold.
Recently I reconnected with the Saputo family and about a year ago I ran into Dave and Mert. Unfortunately, I have lost contact with Shannon. Sometime, we all need to get together. We never really had the chance to sit back and reminisce. We did good!
