5th Anniversary Lymphoma Research Ride: September 18, 2011
The Lymphoma Research Ride is a non-competitive 50-mile bike ride over the hills of Montgomery County, Maryland. At this ride, survivors, family, friends, individuals, community teams and corporate teams ride in honor and in memory of those whose lives have been touched by lymphoma. Since its inception, the Lymphoma Research Ride has raised over $1.5 million to support the mission of the Lymphoma Research Foundation. The 2011 ride was Nancy’s third and, once again, she rode in honor of her dad who is a lymphoma survivor. For the second year in a row, she rode with friends who also are lymphoma survivors. The team, Burke’s Lymphonators, raised over $7,300 for lymphoma research. Plans are already underway to recruit next year’s team!
Arlington County’s Green Living Expo: March 20, 2010
This event was a huge success. Lots of folks came out to learn more about greening their homes, condos, apartments and lifestyles. We had lots of visitors at the My Energy booth, including many who filled out a short survey in exchange for entry into our drawing for a reel lawnmower. Congratulations to winner Carlos Saloj, pictured below (far right) with My Energy founder, Nancy Murphy, and Earth Force student, Angel Lopez. Angel drew the winning name!
