Hello Neighbors!
Sara and I were happy to meet many of you at the
annual yard sale last month. Many of you asked that we keep you posted
on our progress for the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk. So, here's an
update!
For those of you who we didn't meet, my best friend
Sara and I will be walking 60 miles over the course of three days in Boston
August 4th through the 6th for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
sleeping in tents along the way. As part of the process, we have committed
to raising $4400 to support the foundation. So far, we have raised $1965
by holding a benefit Latin Night at Ibiza Restaurant in the South Side, donating
all of our sales proceeds from the yard sale, and collecting donations from
friends and family. We're almost half way there, but we have less than a
month now to raise the rest of the money. So, we're turning to the
community and asking for your support. If you or your business would
like to make a donation, you can go to www.the3day.org/Boston06/teamtia
and click on either one of the team members' names and make a donation on our
personal pages. Any business donations we receive of $250 or more will
receive a free advertising spot on our official team shirts.
As for our training, you may have seen us out and
about in the neighborhood recently doing our training walks. We are
up to ten mile walks - rain or shine - and next week we'll be completing a
20-mile walk around Pittsburgh. If you see us out, give us a wave!...We're
always wearing our bright pink Breast Cancer 3-Day lanyards.
As always, thanks for your continued support and
we'll keep you posted on our progress!
