IT’S OFFICALLY BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!!!!!!
I sure hope everyone is just as excited as I am! :) I truly cannot put into words how much I love seeing the world decorated in pink throughout this entire month. It makes my heart so happy to know how many companies have joined forces to support this cause. If this awareness and medical research continues, I whole heartedly believe that one day we will see a world without breast cancer.
Speaking of breast cancer awareness, the 3DAY FOR THE CURE is now exactly one month away!!!! Oh my goodness! Toni and I are definitely more unprepared this year than we were last year. We don’t have shoes, outfits, 100% of our money, and not to the mention… we have not trained – AT ALL!!!! I’m not sure what our deal is this year, but we have got to get super serious these next few weeks!
While in Texas for the big game on Saturday, Toni & I both received an e-mail saying someone had donated $500 each to help us reach my fundraising goal. We were very shocked because we were not expecting that one bit.
We have been blessed beyond measure trying to raise support for this event. I fully understand & feel the weight of trying to raise money, especially during these economic times. Since high school I’ve been collecting donations for mission trips, the Make A Wish foundation, or Susan G. Komen 3DAY for the cure and it is not easy breezy. I truly have been humbled and amazed by the Lord’s provision for the 3DAY. On my birthday, Toni & I both received $1,500 each and Saturday we received $500… we need $2,300 each to walk. Are we lucky girls or what? We have been in awe with each large donation and can simply do nothing but give glory & praise to the Lord.
As a little encouragement for fundraising, one of our team members, Susan, sent us a package last week! It truly was the highlight of our day!!! The package included these super cute 3DAY t-shirts, a little ‘hope’ wall décor, & lots of love!!! She has no idea how immensely thankful we are for her kindness to us!
In effort to help raise money ourselves, we are selling t-shirts we designed. We thought selling t-shirts on campus would be a bit easier than it has been though. We’ve raised some money from this endeavor; it’s just hard because we know how annoying it is to buy t-shirts in college. Your freshman & sophomore year it seems like all fun and games, but by your junior and senior year most students are pretty tired of purchasing t-shirts.
Either way, we’ve got one month to come up with $600! I believe we can do it!!!! We will be walking in November alongside our absolutely magnificent team, The Hopefuls!
Make sure to buy something with a pink ribbon on it this month !!
