Jeff is participating in the American Cancer Societies Relay for Life. He is hoping to raise $500, and since we don't know very many people here in Mississippi we are reaching out to everyone we know from all over. Cancer has touched our lives and Jeff has dedicated his participation to the memory of his father. If you are looking for an opportunity to help contribute toward the cure for cancer, just click on this little button. It will take you to the American Cancer Societies website where you can enter you contribution information. One of the first things Jeff did when we arrived here was to find a way to get involved in raising money to help find a cure for cancer. This cause has been near and dear to his heart and mine and we are glad to be back in a position to help.
The Relay for Life is an event where Jeff and his team along with a bunch of other teams run around a track continuously for 12 straight hours. At least one member of the team must be running at all times for the entire 12 hours. Since Katrina it has been difficult for this area to put on fund raising events like this. There are not a lot of participants or contributions in comparison to this event before Katrina. But, it is part of the healing process, a step in the right direction. It would be great for every one's spirits to have a successful fundraiser, but the most important thing is to raise money to cure cancer. Every dollar counts. I am not a great sales person but isn't my button lovely?
Happy Easter!

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

Your button is lovely. :)
It is Monday morning...are you doing the happy dance?
I am doing the RFL, too. I am, in fact, on the planning committee for our event, handling logistics and the printed event program. It's much work, but much fun. Kudos to Jeff! And you, for helping raising the money!
