Raising Money: Fighting Back Against Cancer

Hey everyone!

I am participating in Relay For Life again this year and I have been given an awesome opportunity to do a fundraiser with Jen from Jens Ideas! I'm so excited and wanted to share the opportunity with everyone to buy these awesome shirts and help out the American Cancer Society fight back against cancer! My team is the All Nighters, hehe!



Our team will receive between $8-$13/per shirt depending on the style you choose. I will take paypal and you can even go to my Relay website to pay your portion of the shirt that goes to Relay directly. And then you can send a check or money order to me so that I can pay Jen. She sent me several boxes of shirts so they are all in stock right now.

To view the flyer bigger just leave your email address in the comments and I will email the flyer to you. Or you can just email me at kmtkbest@gmail.com

Relay For Life: What can you do to help?

I saw that Manic Mommy linked to me, thank you!! I feel quite passionately about Relay For Life. I signed up for the event last year while I was waiting on Breast biopsy results to come back, I guess I thought it was a karma thing. A little bit of hope for good results. They were fine, I'm good.......for now.

How big is your family?

I know that one in four people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. I have a family of four. Which of us will be the one? Could it be all of us? If it is I want to know that we did our part to help find a cure. I want to know that I'm doing everything I can do to prolong the lives of my children, husband and self.

What can you do?

Well there's many things. First of all, you can join your local Relay For Life. Find out how by clicking the Relay logo on the right.

Second you can sponsor someone else who is participating in Relay For Life. I would suggest me for obvious reasons. You can make donations to my Relay team by clicking here.

The third option is to Sponsor a local Relay For Life or Sponsor my Relay For Life. What do you get with sponsorship? Well let me tell you! You get advertisement of your business, blog, a loved one lost to cancer or your own name. For a mere $250 Sponsors names (or websites) are printed on hundreds of shirts as well as posted at the Relay For Life event that they sponsor. If that's too much you can sponsor for $50 and have a sign posted at Relay For Life with whatever you want posted on it (website, blog, name and phone number, picture of a loved one who is battling or lost the battle with cancer). Anyone interested in sponsoring should email me at kmtkbest@gmail.com OR click the logo on the right and find your local Relay For Life.

There are other things you can do to support Relay For Life. We always always need donations and every dollar counts. Please help us support this cause. We have to beat cancer before it beats us!

Relay For Life

Okay, so last year I was a team captain for Relay For Life here in our county. It was my first time to relay but had high expectations. None of the things I read about asked about doing or hoped to see happened. I was very disappointed. We are in a huge community and I think only about 16 teams showed up the night of Relay.

Well this year our counties American Cancer Society representative asked my good friend and I to be on the committee. At first I wanted to but then remembered how all of our brilliant ideas were ignored so I was not going to be a part of putting together a sub-par event.

So I decided I would Relay in Michigan with my family since they all came to Missouri to Relay with me last year. You see, I signed up to be a team captain while I waited for results of a breast biopsy. My reason to Relay is because those few days were hell! I was terrified and the thoughts that went through my mind were horrible. If I can raise money to help fight the beast from taking more lives and scaring more people count me in!

Well instead of Relaying in Michigan this year. Instead, my good friend and I were asked to Co-chair Relay For Life this year. Appearantly the ACS rep. loved our ideas and wants to see them in action! So I'm the silly, crazy, talk to strangers, outgoing and wild type of person and my friend, well she's very serious and business minded. The ACS rep thinks we'll be a good balance. I'm pretty sure she's gonna kill me by the end of all of this.

But on the bright side we've already put a lot of our awesome ideas into action and Relay For Life of Pulaski County is going to be INCREDIBLE this year! I only hope she doesn't kill me before I get to see it!
