HOPE!

So I know I know I haven't posted something in a really long time. I could give all the excuses like my laptop has been getting fix and I'm so very busy with all my jobs but really I'm lazy and lately coming home and turning on a computer after staring at one all day is not what I want to do!

But today I am posting because I'm hoping to get some pledges. I'm taking part in the Winners Walk of Hope to End Ovarian Cancer. I'm hoping to raise $300. It's not a huge goal but like they say every penny counts.

Ovarian cancer is a cancer that is very difficult to recognize and often diagnosed late. Because this symptoms of ovarian cancer that symptoms many women experience they are often over looked. Unfortunately that means about 70% of those diagnosed loss their battle. That’s HUGE!

This disease has affected my family because one of my mom's co-work/friend has been battling this disease for about 2 years now. She is strong and fighting hard but it’s a battle we all wish she didn’t have to fight. My hope is that one day there will be no need for any of these fundraisers and that the only reason they happen is because we are walking to celebrate our victory!

I understand that there is lots of opportunities to donate out there and it is impossible to give to them all so please don’t feel as though you have to. The one thing I do ask though is please educate yourself! Go here to learn more:

I promise to post some pictures of the walk and I will also do an update of my summer once I get my laptop back!
