Goal Met!

For the second year in a row, a HUGE thank you goes out to all those that have contributed to my Susan G. Komen account, enabling me to participate in the 3-day for a Cure in San Diego next month.  You'll never know how much it means to me.

I owe my team, Team Safe at Second, my gratitude as well, because their efforts have also made this all possible.  I can't wait to spend another 60 miles with them.  If you have a spare second, I highly recommend that you pop over to this post and get to them a bit.

Some of our fundraising efforts this year have included a Goodwill truck drive, in which we asked friends to bring their unwanted items to help fill the truck.  

Here, the team takes a break on some comfy and conveniently donated couches during our Goodwill truck drive.  How I love these gals.

Another big part of our fundraising efforts this year has been something called "flocking."  During this operation, our victims friends mysteriously have a flock of pink flamingos land in their front yard during the night, along with a note explaining our team and our purpose and our goal.  If the flockee so choses, he/she may leave a donation, along with the name of someone else they know who might enjoy a good flock.

We also had a bake sale, along with a fundraiser night at one of our local restaurants, which was arranged by my supportive husband and his office.  Thank you, Giancarlo!  Your support makes all of this end the world of breast cancer business so much more doable and enjoyable.

Stay tuned for further kick cancer in the butt episodes!
