AmCancerSoc: Strides

Strides Against Breast Cancer. What a beautiful morning. The rains stopped some time during the night. It was a crisp 34 degrees when we woke up -- with literal frost-on-the-pumpkin, sitting on our front step. Happily by the time we picked up my team-mate, Heather, and made our way downtown it had already warmed up to 41 degrees!!! The best news is that the sun then popped out & we had a gorgous blue sky to help keep us warm.

We made our way to COSI, got officially signed in, picked up my 'SURVIVOR' sash -- a la Miss America over the shoulder, and met up with the other half of our team, Joyce & her daughter Krysta. The early childhood foursome!! Allen did all the driving & then took over as our official team photographer. (Hence he's not in any of the pictures.) We each had monies to turn in and that brought our team total of fund-raising to a grand total of $770!! I'm really amazed that we were able to get this total $$ accomplished in the two weeks since launching our little team. An enormous thank you to each & all who contributed to our efforts.
