We’re Walking for Life!

You know on the movies when wives spend a ton of money on shoes or shopping and their husbands get the credit card bill and freak out? Well, we have that similar situation. Except Kyle finds random print outs or gets emails– donation receipts and I hear, “What did you donate to NOW?!” I’m addicted. I can’t stop. But I consider it the best possible problem I could have. Minus that I also really like shoes… It doesn’t take much, a sweet little puppy face and we are fostering, a child with diabetes and we are spending our weekends fishing and crafting, a group of Mom’s who have children with cancer get to go on a shopping spree and I think, they’ll probably need champagne (Kyle doesn’t know about that one yet), or this…

All it took was this line…

Help the American Cancer Society create a world with

less cancer and more birthdays.

I was sold. Cancer affects so many lives and it is guaranteed to affect your life at some point whether that be a friend, a family member or even yourself. No one is safe, not the young, not the old, it doesn’t stay away from the otherwise healthy or even babies. Cancer is a major issue and if we can help do our part to create more birthdays, especially for the people we love, we’re going to do it! Right, Kyle?! He agrees, don’t worry.

We’ll be walking for 12 hours to represent the fact that cancer doesn’t stop or sleep, those 12 hours are from 6pm-6am. But it seems like a small sacrifice really. Our goal is to raise at least $1,500. If you’ve been touched by cancer we’d love for you to donate in someone’s honor or memory and we’ll walk for them too.

You can help support our team here. All donations are tax deductible. You may also want to see if there is a Relay for Life event in your area.

  1. How could you NOT be sold with a slogan like that? You guys are amazing!

  2. You guys are amazing! I do a suicide awareness 5 k every year (and I walk it) which takes an hour or so. You’re walking for 12! AMAZING. Best of luck!

  3. I REALLY hope I find a job soon, because I want to donate to this.

  4. This is gonna be amazing, so proud of everyone who supports this cause.

  5. So true, Alicia – I have had young close friends that were affected by cancer. No one is safe. You guys are amazing.

  6. When we lived in Oklahoma we participated in Relay for Life for 3 years and it truly is a touching and inspirational experience! At around 4 or 5 am people start acting high on tiredness and energy drinks, but it is so meaningful when you stick it out!
