Let's do this!

I'm sure you all know by now about the terrible news Aunt Patty received this week. I think our whole family is completely scared and devastated. I feel very helpless and kind of pissed off. I know I can't "help" necessarily but I felt the need to do something, anything, to show my support.

So, I've decided to start a team and join a walk for breast cancer that is happening in our area on October 18th. I've started a team that I've named Patti's Perky Posse. I wanted a name that was funny, just like Aunt Patti is, but also that showed our support for her. I would love it if anyone out there would like to join us on our walk but would love it if you could make a donation as well.

This family alone has been affected by breast cancer many times. I'm sure everyone out there knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. It scares me that someday I could be facing the same challenges that a lot of women are facing right now. We need to work towards a cure for this disease. We need to work together to not only save the women who are fighting cancer now but to save their daughters and granddaughters. Let's get together as women and fight for a cure.

I've made a team page but right now it is very boring. I'm hoping to figure out how to spruce it up so it'll be a little more interesting to look at. But, I'd love it if everyone would take a look anyway. You can get some information about the event, about my team, and learn how to donate. I appreciate everyone taking a minute to check it out. Do it for your mother or grandmother or friend or aunt or sister who is fighting breast cancer. Or, if you've not personally been affected by cancer, do it for my aunt. Trust me, she's worth it.
