Regardless of where you are in life — whether you’re just starting out (like me!), building a family, or enjoying retirement — creating a will is an essential step in creating your legacy and protecting your loved ones. For me, having a will is a way to express my love and care to my family, friends, and passions. I encourage everyone to take a moment this month to reflect on your personal circumstances and consider the importance of having a will. You have the power to create a meaningful legacy and make decisions that reflect your values and priorities. Join me and let’s prioritize this important aspect of planning — because your story deserves to be told your way.

What does this awesome little guy have to do with lung cancer, you ask? This is one of our two dogs, Mr. Chew, and he LOVES walking at the Flowood Nature Park. I could have done better at self-care the last few years - including physical activity - and I'm working to change that. It's often easier to lace up my shoes if I have external motivators like Mr. Chew. Now, I'm adding another. Between now and October 26, 2004, I aim to raise at least $888 in support of LUNGevity Foundation. Their annual events, Breathe Deep TOGETHER and Breathe Deep ANYWHERE, are platforms for raising crucial funding to support all those living with lung cancer. I have two action items for my LinkedIn colleagues: 1) Please agree to be my "accountability partners" in my commitment to becoming more physically active while raising money to support LUNGevity's vital work, and 2) Please support my fundraiser if you can (link below). I promise to check in occasionally and keep you posted on my mileage, Mr. Chew, and my progress toward my fundraising goal. Mr. Chew says, "Whaddaya waiting for? Let's get walking!" https://lnkd.in/gQY_NgeD
