Can I just vent?
| Sun, 03-28-2004 - 10:55am |
I have joined the Race for the Cure walk to be held in April. This is the first year I have done this because I have been too big to walk in the past years. My aunt is a breast cancer survivor and she lost a daughter to it when the girl was 30 or so. I know a lot of ladies who have been touched by this. Anyway to make a long story short I was asking family and friends to help me by pledging $5.00. Only $5. And not one of them would! They had a million excuses why they couldn't - oh, I already did, or I have bills to pay, or whatever. $5 to me is nothing. Pack a lunch one day this week and donate your lunch money! It's not like I was asking for $50 or something! I donated $125 personally which will pay for one mamogram. I only work part time and have 4 kids to raise alone but I know the importance of this foundation. I have three daughters and I worry about them. I guess I'm just mad that people aren't concerned until it effects them or maybe I'm just mad at myself for expecting too much out of people.
Okay - I'm done. Thanks for listening.

Thank you to you, and the many many others who care enough about this cause to fight it.
Hugs,
Mel
I lost my grandmother to lekiuema (OK, so I can't spekk...speLL :) ), so I understand the desire. I wish I could get some dough to you so I can help you even more. I am not doing this year because I didn't have enough time to get ready for it but that doesn't mean I can't help another out with a little mola.
Thank you so much. I didn't expect to get any pledges here that was not my intention - but thanks so much for your kindness.

Your husband works for a good company - sounds like.
