"I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness." - Mother Teresa

Love those Thursdays! Another $25 on my pledge report! This one from a cousin I grew up next to but haven't seen in about 16 years. She sponsored me last year too. At Christmas she sent me pictures of her three kids - 2 girls and a boy. It's my prayer that her pledge works miracles to keep this disease from ever touching her children!

Last night I spoke again at an Orientation. I really like meeting all the potential walkers. Every single time I help at an Orientation I come away a little more inspired. Last night a gal brought her beautiful 2 year old daughter. When I approached her to compliment her on how well behaved her child was she turned to me with tears in her eyes. She told me that the reason she brought her daughter was to help remind her why she was walking. She just found out that an aunt passed away from breast cancer and she wants her daughter to have a fighting chance.
