Hi Ladies,
Congratulations!!! We have each met our minimum goal of at least $1,800.00 and some of you far and beyond that goal. Our team has currently raised $27,111.00 !!! Keep soliciting last minute donations with the hope that our team can and will raise 30k in the fight against breast cancer.
Remember to start / keep hydrating and get lots of sleep tonight and through Friday.
I'm stopping into work later tonight to drop off sweatshirts for fire. If you would prefer to wash yours before packing, please call my cell and make arrangements to pick your sweatshirt up at my home tonight.
I'll meet all PD team members in PAB plot at 1300 hrs Friday.
I'm shooting for dinner reservations for 1800 hrs at Cheesecake Factory in Union Square or as soon as Fire team members are finished registering.
Active Walkers:
Tara Doxie, Linda Doering, Amy Camarillo, Denise Murillo, Sandra Stultz, Marie Silva-Martinez, Teresa Zagalo, Jennifer Burnham and Tracy Deitschman.
This year, as in past we personally walk for so many special people who have been affected by breast cancer. As a team, we are dedicating our 2008 walk in support of our dear friend and co-worker Cindy Hawke. We are fortunate that Cindy Hawke will also be with us this year and will be there cheering us on from the sidelines. She will be saving all her energy for the final walk into closing ceremonies. :)
Other team members who will be cheering us on from the side (and much needed) are Gina Hardesty, Brandon Hardesty, Jennifer Arata, Marissa Wedge, Stacey Jordan, Onne Keys, Cindy, Rahul and my family.
For those of you don't know, my son made the All Star baseball team. The sad part is the tournament starts this weekend in Morgan Hill. My husband will be at Opening Ceremonies to see us off and to take our team pictures before heading back to Morgan Hill. Keep your fingers crossed that my sons team wins Saturdays game because then they will be with us all day on Sunday... if they lose they have to play Sunday and they won't be able to drive up on Sunday.
Team Shirts:
Friday - White
Saturday - Black
Sunday - Pink
Lastly, I wanted to send a special thank you to all of you who fundraised and trained so hard in preparation for this 2008 walk. This team has been the most independent thus far, taking personal responsibility and finding the drive within yourselves to ensure your minimum donations were raised.
I also wanted to send out a prayer request for Shirly Paugh. A special team mate of ours who joined our team, never having met us but wanting to walk in support of her dear niece (our friend) Cindy Hawke. Shirley joined our team many months ago and raised her money quickly successfully banking $2,700.00 into her account. She also helped raise money for Cindy's account. Shirley trained diligently in preparation for the Avon Walk before suffering an aneurism where she lives in Iowa. She is currently in the hospital recovering and will obviously not be with us the weekend. I ask that you keep her your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Prayer requested also for Linda Doering's sister in law who was also just diagnosed with breast cancer and will be starting treatment within the next couple of weeks.
Please send email to your family and friends inviting them to Opening / Closing ceremonies and a link to the
Cheering Stations.Because as you all know, it pays to have those you love on the side lines showing their support by cheering you on!
See ya'll tomorrow.
Keep on stepping ladies, You Rock!
Tara Doxie
