Hi Everyone!  I wanted to tell you about something really cool I found.  I happened on this great store for a great cause through a myspace link. (Who knew some of those would be useful?) The Breast Cancer Site (Store) will provide mammograms for underprivileged women for every purchase you make.  From July-December of 2007, they donated 2145 mammograms to women who would otherwise not have the benefit of early detection available to them.  Everything on the site is reasonably priced, and they have a great variety of items; from t-shirts to jewelry, even socks!  They have some really cute things, like these flip-flops, which I am going to have to order because they are too adorable!  This awesome site is attached to an EVEN MORE AWESOME SITE…  The Breast Cancer Site will donate free mammograms for every click you make on the pink button on this page.  You can click once a day, and they even allow you to sign up for a daily reminder!  It won’t cost you a penny, and all you have to do to make a difference is CLICK!  How awesome is that?  So go get your shop on, and when you’re done, click for the cure!  Click every day!  It takes about 5 seconds, and you might be saving a woman’s life.  Be sure to share this with other Shero’s you know!  Happy clicking!

Hi Everyone! We would like to thank Karen and Leah for meeting us last Saturday at Luke’s Locker for our first training walk! It is so much easier to get motivated when there is a group of people to talk to and enjoy the miles with. It was a pleasure to meet you two and we hope we will see you again soon.

Nikki and I will be attending the Dallas Training Kick-Off Event bright and early on Saturday morning at New Balance. We are hoping to be among the first 100 there because those people will get a goodie bag. I love free stuff, but I am so not a morning person.  Think we can make it by 8:30 AM?  Here’s hoping!

We also want to plan a clinic and training walk with Patton, the Luke’s Locker manager, within the next few weeks. He is so awesome and supportive, and we would love to introduce him to other walkers so that they can feel his contageous and upbeat personality. He is truly awesome. As soon as we nail down the details, we’ll post the official walk here and on the message boards. Happy Walking!

Hi everyone!  I wanted to tell you all about a really exciting promotion that American Airlines has going on right now.  I travel a lot, so I signed up for their frequent flyer program called AAdvantage some time ago.  I’m always looking for new ways to earn miles, so I subscribed to their e-mail list too.  This week, they announced that for every $1 you donate to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, AAdvantage will credit you with 5 frequent flyer miles.  What a great way to make a difference and earn some miles at the same time.  If you’d like to donate, you can go their website by clicking here.  If you don’t have an AAdvantage number, and you’d like to sign up for one, follow this link to sign up for one.  It only takes a few minutes, and you’ll be on your way to earning rewards and possibly even a free trip!  With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I hope you’ll consider donating in your Mom’s name.  What an awesome way to honor your own Mom, while helping others see many more special days with their families. 

Have a wonderful weekend, and a Happy Mother’s Day!

Looking for a great fundraising idea? I have sold everything from stickers, notebooks and jewelry to cupcakes, cookies and chocolate lollipops. Chocolate Gifts are something that almost everyone enjoys, so I have found that it is especially easy to sell.

Gertrude Hawk Chocolates offers sales programs designed to fit fundraising, corporate and gift-giving needs. I am going to be sending an e-mail to ask if they would be willing to donate a basket or gift that we can use as a raffle prize.

Have any other 3-Day participants or teams had luck with food fundraisers? My cookie and cupcake bake sales at work have been a hit each time I have them, and they have left my co-workers asking when will I be doing it next. Any other suggestions?
