1 Week Away
Enough complaining... the PINK SPRINKLES HAVE RAISED OVER $12,000! and we have all made the minimum goal to walk! GO PINK SPRINKLES!
Last night the Pink Sprinkles finally gathered as a whole team at Jill's house to decorate our tent covers. Last year we did white shower curtains with pink dots and poofs all over it. This year we are "sprinkling" pink ribbons all over the tents. So, each of the tent covers has pink ribbons all over them. We are also making a "donors" tent and a "fighters" tent. The donors tents will list everyone who donated to the pink sprinkles as a thank you for their support. The "fighters" tent will list anyone who has faught breast cancer. We are in the process of collecting names for our "fighters" tent. So, if you have a name you would like us to add, please just post a comment and we will add it.
Thank you to everyone for your support!
Don't forget to come to the cheering stations next week!

Thank you, everyone, for your support. You can donate either by clicking on the link on the right side of this blog and it will bring you to my donation page, or you can go to www.the3day.org and search for my name and then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the donation page and download the form to mail in a check.
I have had a ton of fun this year tracking the walks. It is so much more fun watching a Twins game when you have something to get excited about even when they are losing. If you are interested, my favorite Twin, Justin Morneau had the most walks, 55. Denard Span came in second with 43 walks, and Michael Cuddyer was tied with Joe Mauer for third with 40 walks. And OF COURSE, Delmon Young has had the fewest walks - 7.
I will continue posting until the walk occurs on Aug 21, 22 and 23. Thank you one more time! You guys are great!

Silent auction total, walking, etc.
This past weekend I went up to a cabin in lake/cabin country. It was great to get out of the city and turn my cell phone off. Literally my cell phone was in the OFF position for 2 days straight! I also walked a lot. I walked 10 miles on Saturday and 6 miles on Sunday. While that isn't that much considering I should have walked 18 on Saturday and 15 on Sunday, I wasn't in the mood to do it. I would rather spend my time on the lake catching fish, which is exactly what I did. We caught SO much fish! Man, if i could spend a week in the summer fishing I would be happy (so long as it was in the low 80s and sunny like it was this weekend). But, alas I cannot do that. Oh well.
It appears as if the Cubs are hitting more home runs now. For a long time they were stuck at 99, then now they are up to 106. So, that's good for the donation thing.
Twins walks: 373
Delmon Young walks: 7 (1% of all the walks)
Red Sox home runs: 113
Farm Team walks: 1298
Just to let everyone know, my "Walks for a Walker" program will be ending on July 31.
