Time to Do Something

So my family has a LONG history of cancer in it. I have lost my fair share of Grandparents and Great grandparents as well as other family members to this deadly disease.

I also have quite a few amazing family members who have attacked this monster head on and come out ahead. They were, still are, and will always be some of my personal hero's.

We have done a few things like helped other out prepare for events, and Ben even shaved his head a few years back.

This time our family has a bigger goal. We are trying to get healthier as well as raise some money to fight the "Cancer Beast". We have joined up in our Relay for Life walk here is Prince George.

For 24 hours straight my family will be taking turns walking, running, skipping you name it. Non stop. If one person needs a rest another takes over.

I have to admit, after I signed us up I thought to myself, "YOU ARE CRAZY!! How are you going to keep 6 kids under control and walking for a full 24 hours!!" I immediately started looking for a way to cancel us out of it and then I realized, that it may be hard but it would be worth it. The best things always are.

It not only would help out people fighting Cancer, but help my family have a moment in our life that we will always look back on as a true team building event. We all will have to work together to make this work. Not only that but the time we will be spending as we practice and build up to this event. I relaxed and then had a meeting with the family.

We have been trying to figure out a way to raise the $1,000 goal we set for ourselves with very little time to do it. I am still at the tail end of Tax season, Mike is working 2 jobs, Ben is working and taking piano plus the kids start soccer in May. When will we have time to fund raise?

Well this is where this post, the internet and counting on our family to help us out comes in.

We decided that we are going to do 1 or 2 laps at the top of every hour where we do silly things or walk in silly ways, etc.  Now for every person who donates $50 or more will get to choose one of the activities and which family member does it. We will film a video of them doing that activity and then post it live from the event for you all to watch.

Mike has said if anyone donates $100 he will walk 1 lap in a Diaper and bonnet!! 2 laps for $200.

please leave a comment or send me an email if you are one of these people with those big donations. We will be sure to thank-you and get you your video.

The event runs from 10am May 11th to 10am May12.

Please help us raise money and have fun doing it.

Thank-you
