I know many of you are too far away and haven't gotten to see mom in awhile, so here is a picture from this weekend-- doesn't she look great? The only thing about this picture that is "staged" is that normally none of us would be dressed and out the door in matching clothes at 7:30 on a Saturday morning-- otherwise this is a completely truthful representation of mom.
While she was here, we discussed the Sprint for Life. Mom -being mom and the lady who sent snacks while she had surgery- informed me that she didn't know how to host this event. Hehe. So, should you choose to join us, let me assure you that this run/walk is quickly skewing to "fun early morning party with breakfast and perhaps cocktails." Mom is signed up and planning to walk some portion of the event, so if you think 3.1 miles is too far for you to even walk, consider signing up and assigning yourself to "Dee Dee's support crew" and head back to the finish line early to drink mimosas and cheer on everyone else!
Three ways you can help:
- You've already registered- THANKS!! We are so looking forward to this event. Make sure you are registered for our team. So far, the non-family members of the group are Grace Judy, Milton, Sara and Lynne. If you have registered and are not on that list, email me at CzarLindsey @ gmail . com and I can tell you how to put yourself on the team! An event tshirt comes with the registration, but I am working on some tshirts to help identify our team, so I will be in touch about sizes.
- Sign up to run/walk with our team! You can register at www.sprintforlife.com. The registration fee is $22 if you don't want to be timed. or $25 if you do. It will go up (slightly) at the end of this week, so jump on it!
- Send Spirit!- If you are too far away or can't run/walk on May 3, but want to do a little something, let me know. I have a surprise up my sleeve. Email me at CzarLindsey at gmail dot com.
Five reasons you should do this:
- Free breakfast!
- "Exercise" checked off your Saturday to-do list before 9AM!
- Free event parking in the med center (and we all know the med center doesn't much away free!)
- Easiest walk ever- you register and join our team, I will pick up your packet with everyone else on the team. All you have to do is show up on May 3.
- To be a part of a beautiful display of support, not only for mom, but for other women who are dealing with ovarian cancer. We look forward to sharing our "support crew" with the other women, and seeing family and friends of other survivors and knowing that everyone is in it together.
Love you all dearly. Thanks for supporting my crazy ideas and, therefore, supporting my mom.
Lindsey
PS- You've seen it a couple of times on here, but I've created a new email address- CzarLindsey @ Gmail . com (remove all spaces). I've always been hesitant to put my email address on the blog, as that's how people get hacked and are suddenly hawking "cheap drug$ from canada" or other questionable services to their friends. This is a dummy account that will get forwarded to my real email account and I will respond from there!
