in one week Grace will be one! No more puppy... a big girl dog.. i'm shaving her legs for it! No .. ok i am shaving her legs but that's not the reason.. she has so much matted fur on her legs.. poor baby..

I'm in a dire situation. I am very far away from my fundraising goal. It has been much harder this year than my previous year. Donations have been much fewer and the time is moving quicker. I don't have the funds to invest in things to fundraise this year, so I am asking/begging for your help. Please forward this to everyone that you possibly can... Post it, email it, stick it on your forehead? There's a downloadable donation form that can be printed out.. If I don't raise more funds I won't be able to participate. I have to raise $2,200 minimum to participate.



Thanks in advance.. I really apprecaite the support.




Friends,

Without a cure, an estimated 5 million Americans will be diagnosed with breast cancer - and more than 1 million could die - over the next 25 years. That's a pretty startling statistic. No one should have to face this disease, so in order to create a future without breast cancer, I walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day.

It's a 60-mile walk over the course of three days that raises funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Last year, I had an incredible experience participating in this event. I raised $2,200 and met so many wonderful friends along the way.

Walking 60 miles was hard, but I will keep walking until breast cancer is no longer. I walk because everyone deserves a lifetime. I walk because I can. I walk because I can't walk away.

Please make a donation to support my fundraising efforts. . Many companies have matching gifts programs, so please ask your employer if they will double your donation with a matching gift.

(All donations are tax deductible)

Thank you so much,

i read this on the 3 day site and well.. it really helps.

For those "first time walkers" about to walk in Cleveland, I thought this might address those last lingering questions:

“I am SOOOO nervous” – Yes, you are. So what?

“What if I can’t walk all the way?’ – Who cares? No one is keeping track but you.

“What if I get a blister?” – So?

“What if I don’t know anyone?” – You’ll meet hundreds of nice people.

“What if I packed too much?” – You did.

“What if I didn’t pack something?” – You’ll live.

“What if it rains?” – You’ll get wet; you won’t drown.

"What if is it cold?" - You won't freeze to death.

“What if it is hot?” – You’ll sweat.

“What if I don’t like the food?” – You’ll be walking past approximately 472 supermarkets and convenience stores; you’ll manage.

“What if I don’t like the porta-potties?” – No one likes the porta-potties. You’ll survive.

“What if I don’t like the showers?” – So don’t shower. Though you might want to check with your tent mate first.

“What if I can’t sleep in a tent?” – You’ll be tired; you’ll sleep.

“What if…?”

Enough already with the “What if’s?” You’ll do fine. Relax and enjoy the experience.

Because of the money you’ve raised, money is going to go towards early detection programs. In a few months, a woman is going to take advantage of one of those programs, and she’s going to find out she has breast cancer. But because of you, she will have found out early enough to get treatment, and to survive.

She’s going to get to watch her kids grow up, and to be there at their concerts and their games. She’s going to go to their graduations and to their weddings. She’s going to get to see her grandchildren. And her kids will never have to face growing up without her. All because of you. And while she will never know it, you will know it.

Any more questions? No? ;-)
