Meeting

Hi Ladies!

I attended the Team Captain meeting tonight and came away with a few things....a few ideas for fundraising, training, etc....but more importantly, a renewed sense of determination. There was a feeling that came along with completing the 60 miles last year that Lori can attest to and I can't wait for Angela and Carol to experience this year! The feeling that we are all involved in something so big and so important. The message that in the 90 minutes I was in the meeting, 34 people would be diagnosed. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. I came away from this meeting with that feeling.
This year will be particularly personal for me. In my past, I have had several family members that have been diagnosed....some I have lost and some are brave survivors....recently, I received word that a friend of ours has been diagnosed. She has a 10 year old son that is in my daughters class. For some reason, this news struck me very hard.....she is my age, her kids are my kids age.....now, not only has this disease attacked my family but, it is going after my friends and, pardon my french but, that really pisses me off! So, it is with renewed determination that I will attack fundraising and training and I am so thankful to have you all as a part of the team!
I am really looking forward to Monday at Cheesecake Factory!!!
BTW - We all have numbers "on the board" for fundraising! Angela at $1890.00, Lori $1020.00 Carol - $200.00 and me $400.00. You are all doing a great job!!
