everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

something just doesn't feel right today. on friday, i will be within a few miles of my brother and able to see him for the first time in over 7 months. one problem-- he's nowhere to be found.

i'm visiting the area with two friends who have never met him. will he even be sober to meet up? or will anyone even be able to find him?

knot in stomach, commence.

Fundraising Update

Sarah and I did some serious Pelotonia marketing over the weekend to our family, so fingers crossed we'll have an exciting update in a couple of weeks. I know everyone is watching their wallets closely, but just remember this is the only donation you can make that goes 100% to directly fight cancer. Right now we're nearly even in money raised, but still far from our goal. Check out my page or Sarah's page to help the cause.

Pelotonia on the Patio

Pelotonia is hosting a fundraising event on Thursday, June 18, from 5:00-9:00pm at the Park Street Patio. It costs $15, but includes an open bar for beer and wine for the night. A percentage of the tickets go towards fundraising efforts for the riders. You can help the cause simply by drinking (and by the looks of it, our fundraising cause definitely needs some help).

I'm Ron Burgandy?

So it's not for Pelotonia, but Will Ferrell has created a sunscreen line to benefit a cancer charity. With names like "Sexy Hot Tan" and "Forbidden Fruit" maybe we can raffle a few off for our own fundraising purposes?! Sweet packaging.

For Better or For Worse

This past weekend marks the 50th wedding anniversary of Peanie and Frank! They were married June 6, 1959. We're so blessed to have my grandma not just on this occassion, but everyday. We owe so much of this celebration to modern cancer research and treatment. We'll be officially celebrating this milestone in August with the entire family, just a few short weeks before the Pelotonia!
