TOP TEN REASONS why Knut is Crossing Michigan for Margy's Transplant

1. To call attention to Margy's enormous financial burden for her life-saving bone marrow transplant.
2. Because the trail markers along the Shore to Shore Trail are BLUE, Margy's favorite color.
3. Because like Margy's battle with cancer, crossing Michigan on foot in the winter is a long, tough journey that requires strength and endurance.
4. Because cross-country skiing the equivalent of 7 to 8 marathons is harder than running just one.
5. Because like so many of us, he loves Margy and will do anything to help her.
6. Because skiing uphill warms away the chill.
7. Because it's not fair to ask someone to come up with thousands and thousands of dollars for a vital transplant right when they're dealing with the difficulty of needing and receiving one.
8. Because crossing Pennsylvania instead would take forever.
9. Because both of her daughters are suitable bone marrow matches, so we can't let the costly expenses prevent her from receiving the proper treatment and recovery therapy.
10. Because if it was your Mom, you'd do everything you could to help her too.
