WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT!!!


Hi Friends/Family!!

I haven't asked any of you for money for a long time. (Well, since the "out of country butt-lift incident.") I'm BEGGING now, though. This isn't for me. It's for my sister and all other loved ones who've suffered from Lymphoma or Leukemia or Hodgkin's or Myeloma. I've joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for their Team In Training (TNT) to prepare for a marathon on June 26. I'll be running in the Rock N Roll Seattle Marathon and 1/2 Marathon. I have to raise $4100.00. I posted my fundraising website yesterday and I'm just floored by the response so far! I have the best friends and family, folks!! A GINORMOUS thank you to those who have already donated!!

I am working on some fund-raising activities in Colorado Springs to help fund the donation effort as well. Some of the fund-raising ideas that went to the BOTTOM of the list so far . . . .

  • Kissing or licking booth for Karma. (That girl is ALLLLLLL puppy!)
  • At work, allowing staff members to nap in the afternoon, but they pay $1/minute and I promise not to tell.
  • Everyone who is ugly pays me $10/day until they get pretty.
  • Standing in a busy mall restroom and charging per square for t.p.
  • Posing nude in the Geriatric Playboy magazine. Pet peeves: saggy stuff.
  • Selling off Stephen's baby things. Maybe I should wait for him to be more famous-er first.
  • Mug people.
So, it's a work in progress.

Thank you for remembering me when you pay bills and have money left :-) If anyone has a business in the Seattle area, there are corporate sponsorships available. If a business donates $1,000.00 or more, their business name will be printed on my running jersey. That would be awesome advertising if I don't trip and fall.

Thank you, thank you . . .
