Hey peeps!

It's time for me to start my fund raising for my annual Breast Cancer Walk.

This cause is near and dear to me. I lost my mother to colon cancer and my father had prostate cancer.

I would love for someone to find a cure to end all the pain that this dreaded disease inflicts!

Please, help if you can.

Here's my page:
http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY09NewEngland/835929000?px=7851330&pg=personal&fr_id=11721

I will be walking with a group of great friends this year, on a new team. Survivors and friends together searching for a cure!

It is well deserved. :huglove: I'm afraid I'll have to veto the closing of the thread since it's in my section.


unless it really really bothers you.

unless it really really bothers you.
even in that case it could just be merged with the Appreciation thread. But not closed under any circumstances.

Or merge into Karen's thread on the topic of the actual fundraiser (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=4055). :thumbsup:

or burned and forgotten.

I don't do this for the recognition, I do it cause it's a cause near and dear to my heart. So it's like you are making me out to be someone special and I am not, I am just a person helping a cause.

So merge, delete, move, burn, whatever, but you are embarrassing me!! :blush:

Good Luck Karen!

Come on folks, if you have a Mom, or an Aunt, or a Sister, or know a female - you should donate !!!

ETA : Plus you get to put your name on that neat scrolly thing on the side. It's basically like being very famous.

by the way, check your total! :couple:

Y'all will have to forgive me if I don't give right now. Once my wife is done being a major part of the research, I'll probably be a little more likely to participate. We did give some to the Susan G. Koemen foundation though and I purchased one of the pink KitchenAid mixers for my wife. That's about all I have been able to deal with emotionally.

Sorry. It's been really hard sometimes, but they've been getting better for the last two months.

Sam, your wife, and everyone like her, is why I am walking.

Concentrate on her.

We will take care of the rest!

And Turtlesong!! YOU ARE AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goal has been reached!!!! You all rock my world!!

I have to set a higher goal for next year! :lol:

Hey Karen - How'd it go?!? All well?!?

It went well!

Froze, but it was good. Finally warmed up half way through! LOL The kids hardly complained! HE HE
The only thing that is sore is the base of my back..Strange, I know, but the legs and feet are good!

I will post final numbers when I get them, but I believe the team raise more than $2000!!! WOOT WOOT
