Time...

My dear awesome family and friends,

Today I was looking for a quote to write about for my Human Communication class. I wanted to share it with you.

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world”. Anne Frank

Then I thought about you all: My family, my friends new and old, Scottsdale Winestyles and of course my friends at Red Rock. Cancer doesn’t stop due to the economy nor did we. You helped me in so many ways from drinking wine, to bidding on my auctions from stuffing packets to handing out registration packets, to cutting up bananas to screaming as a bike pointer. You have stepped up to the plate like no other.

Our goal has to been to rid our world and those we love of breast cancer. Too many have been affected by this horrible disease. So together we have made this all happen. And we will keep on fighting until we win this battle.

I have yet one more huge opportunity to make more money for cancer research. Red Rock has made this incredible opportunity for us to raise OVER $1200 to help them with their largest race. I coming to you one last time ask not for your money but for your time. This isn’t hard work. And the people so appreciate everything we do. In the land of fund raising, this is like “free” money. The only investment is time.

• I have packet stuffing that I need 5 to 6 people for. It’s stuffing goodies in a bag to hand out to the participants. This is 3 hours in an evening during the week. We can pick which day for this.

• October 24th from 7:30 AM to 6 at Tempe Town Lake under a tent, I need 10 people working registration. I’ll feed you and entertain you and be deeply grateful for you.

• October 25th – Race day!! I need 6 people from 7 AM to 5 PM. We are going to have a blast. We are going to work at the finish line: cheering them on as they hit the finish line making sure that the food is well supplied. Then off we go to transition and check out bikers. Now hey!! I didn’t mean “check” them out. I meant as making sure the bike goes with the right person. After that we are done!!

I need you one more time. I know what you’re thinking and I promise we’ll all get a break after this. Cancer doesn’t rest doesn’t stop nor can we. So I am asking you one more time if you can step up for me so we can knock this out together. While I have you here, please keep Noelle in your prayers. She sure can use them. She needs a miracle.

I still have Noelle’s shoes for those of you who have had them with you. This year I decided that the last mile of the 3 day walk, I am going to put on her shoes and go through closing ceremonies with them.

Love you,
Debs

It's soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Can you believe it! Only forty days till the Breast Cancer 3day 60 mile walk begins. I just wanted to tell some you thank you thank you for being such supports and helping us out. I love you so much.

Red Rock sports are been the best. We have been working for them at their triathlons and these awesome people cut checks for us under the Breast Cancer 3day to help us reach our fund raising goal of $2300. We have two more races to work for them which will bring us to our goals. But I need you to help in order for this to work. I'm not asking for your money (not unless you do want to give it to me) I am asking for some of your time.

All of these are so much fun.. and remember it's helping us make goal.

This Sunday 10/11/09 from 7 AM to 10 AM- bike pointers. We need 10 more awesome fun people to point people in the right direction for the PBR triathlon. Only 3 hours near Tempe Town Lake on the north side at Papago Park.

Then the biggie the SOMA triathlon. This is a blast. Laura and I can earn over $1025 working this triathlon. Remember we need YOU to make this happen.

Friday, October 23rd from 4 PM to 7 PM - Goodie bag stuffing. Its fast its fun and we have a great time while bagging the goodies. This is at Red Rock office "the farm". I need at least 10 people for this. The more we get the faster and quicker we'll be done.

Saturday- October 24th from 7:30 AM to 6 PM registration. We are under a tent meeting and greeting all the race participants. 10 people for this too.

Sunday- is race day!! 7 AM to 5 PM- We get to work the finish line then hop on over to the transition area and check bikers and their bikes out.

Seriously think about it and see what you can do. We love Red Rock and are so grateful for them giving us things to do to help us earn our fund raising money. But we need you!!

So on bended knee I ask... can you help us? Right now we really really need people for this upcoming Sunday and then for the SOMA later in the month.

Let me know!!

Love,
Deb
