Less than 2 weeks

We are now less than 2 weeks from the walk and I am $80.00 short from my $2200 goal. Just $80! I can't believe I am that close. Not only that, but our team will not only meet our goal but surpass it! That means that my team (minus my mom because she had to drop out) will have raised over$8,800 for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. Just 4 people will have raised that much money to support breast cancer research, medical treatments and family support.

To help us all reach our goal, our silent auction raised over $900.00! Thank you everyone for bidding on items in the silent auction. You helped us contribute almost 1/8th of our total. We greatly appreciate your support!

In addition to the silent auction, I need to publicly thank Peter N. for making such a generous donation. At the beginning of the baseball season he said he would donate $1/walk the Twins earned between the beginning of the season and August 20th. He came through with no questions asked. I hope this public thank you only emphasizes how much that donation meant to me. There were several other people who generously donated per walk the Twins earned, as well as one hard-core Cubs fan who donated per Cubs home run. If I do the walk next year, I hope to have more than just the handful of people who contributed.
