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
