I'll take the big half

Over the weekend, I received a few donations that put me over the half way point in my fund raising. I want to give a big "Thank You" to all the donors who were on the ball and prompt with their donations! It really makes things a lot easier (and less stressful) for me, and I appreciate that.

For everyone else who is considering donating, there is approximately one month remaining until the June 22nd check in date for the walk. So get your stuff together and get those donations sent in. I'm counting on you to help me reach my goal!

Dressed to impress

Success! After being thwarted on all of my attempts to find a pink shirt for my walk I decided to take a new approach. It seems that all adult-sized pink shirts are cut for women (go figure). However, I recently realized that I happen to be a perfect size Youth XL. So without further ado, I picked one out at the Pink Ribbon Shop. It's a great online outlet that was started by a breast cancer survivor. And it also fulfilled my requirement of donating a portion of my proceeds to a breast cancer related cause, Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans. Now, if only I can find a source for a pink tophat...

Inspiration

I saw my mom this weekend for the first time since she started chemotherapy. She is doing quite well. She has finished the chemo and is now undergoing radiation therapy 5 days a week. She has lost some weight and all of her hair, but she is enjoying her shot at being a redhead with the wig she had picked out. I am very glad I got the chance to see her before the walk; it sure makes this fund raising thing a whole lot easier.
