Join the Pink Ribbon Brigade... Again!
Last year, many of you walked with me for 20 miles, three days in a row. You heard about the training and you knew what the effort looked like.
So very many of you have supported this with me.
I won't name names. I will say that the peers of TR raised $1050.01 to get me on top of my original goal- $5000. With your help, I surpassed that goal. I am currently at $5760.01. That amount represents the National average for ONE chemotherapy treatment for ONE person, uninsured or underinsured. The average chemo protocol is 6 treatments. And the penny is the seed for next years fundraising- from a loving peer. Thank you.
Last year, I asked people to step up the week of the walk. This year, I am asking you to step up now- work is a HUGE chunk of my time and walking for training is even bigger as we get closer.
Please choose to change your current avatar to a pink ribbon for the MONTH of August. I will be walking the 60 over the weekend (Geekend?) of Aug 24, 25, 26. Our current route has us within a mile of the collapsed 35W bridge. How wonderful to carry a message of life in the wake of that devastation!
Please walk with me in a celebration of life and 60 miles of respect for the angels who have gone before us. Join me for another 60 miles of changing lives.
If you have someone whose name you would like carried, please post it to this thread or PM me. Every life makes a difference and I want people to SEE the difference! The statistics are just numbers. Those who have fought the fight are PEOPLE. Everyone should see them.
I am walking this year with the Couch People. If you were here for last year's walk, you know that the pollen count will raise the bar this year. Jody's whole family will be joining us as supporters this year.
And this is important to Jody's daughter- she needs to see that her mother has left her a legacy.
Can we turn TR pink again? Beth, Jay- I think we can.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
EDIT: If you want a ribbon, PM me. Or just use mine. It all works!
Edited again to remind you all that this is the final week!
THINK PINK!!!
