My mother in law and her friend Jules had a wonderful yard sale for me this past weekend and raised over $600. That is so amazing. My mother in law is a BC Survivor and she endured far more than what I will walking those 40 miles in just a few weeks. Anyway, I'm splitting it with my mom. So with all my pending stuff I'm up to... oh about $1,400.
Ongoing Fundraising
I still have a mini walk to do on June 30th (see post script below). I still have some letters to go out and some that are sent but I need to follow up with. I hate that... the call..."Did you happen to get my letter?" Statistics show that people who intend to donate need to be reminded up to 6 times before they actually do it. We will see. I have some Dr.'s out there to drop letters off to, too. Thank you all who have supported me and my mom and Kelli. Thank you for being a part of making a difference.
I read this quote on the end of an email from a friend. I wanted to share it with you because although I don't have daughters I have a niece, and a few more lovely little girls (my new little lovely lady Ruby in just a few weeks and Bea due this week, not to mention Ava, Abby, Ashlin and Adeline) who I love that mean the world to me. Here it is:
‘I walk for my daughter and all little girls....
....so someday they can wear pink ribbons in their hair, and not on their shirts.’
P.S. Again my mini walk got changed but this is the absolute last weekend I can have it so it is offically planned for June 30th at 8am. Starbucks at the corner of East Ave and Cohassett. If you register early it will cost $20 for 3 mile, one hour walk with us. If you register on mini walk day it costs $30 I believe. I'll let you know when I get all the info. I even had a gal, Connie from Antioch who is going to assist me! Thanks girl! and Kelli and my mom I hope. Chris will be home and so will my sister. I am so blessed to have great friends and family.
