Wearin' pink to show my support
We have all heard the old saying, "Try walking a mile in my shoes". Well, that is what I'm trying to do today. Within the past two months my friend Jenifer found a lump in her breast, had the cancerous tumor removed and today she is starting Chemo. WOW, how do you deal with that!!!??? I know God doesn't give us more then we can handle but you still have to think, "Why me"!! I think about Jen everyday; I wonder what she's thinking and how she's feeling! Wishing that I lived closer so I could help her any way possible. This week I bought a new pink shirt and my pink ribbon. Every time Jen has Chemo or Radiation I'm going to wear pink in her honor. I pray for her everyday but the pink shirt helps remind me of the amazing person that is fighting this battle. Jen is a spiritual warrior and she will win this battle but in the mean time, I'm just here to pray her through it all. Here is the link to Jen blog http://whitesidesfam.blogspot.com/
Over the past few years, I have found that when God wants me to do something, he leaves me "little clues". Well, on Sunday and I was walking out of the YMCA and I saw a sign for a Relay for Life walk in the town that I live in. "BINGO", God left me yet another clue and now the ball was in my court! I went home and looked on-line and found out that the Senoir Center that I vounteer at has a team, so I made the phone call and became a member of the team. We are having several fundraisers at Lakeview Health Center in West Salem and then I am also having a bake sale on St. Patrick's Day with all the proceed going to Relay for Life. Here is the link to my Relay for Life page

Please take a minute to read it over and if you would like to show your support, I would love if you could make a donation. I believe the minimum donation is $10 and if I could just get 10 people to donate, I will have met my obligation as a team member but would like to raise much more then that. If you are a family member or a friend of Jen's, please pass this blog around and get it to as many people as possible so we can show Jen that we are here to love and support her.

Hi Callie. I wanted to donate to your team, but I don't own a credit card. Can I mail you a money order and you can apply it that way?
