Treebywater Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I was just over looking at the Boston Walk Site... checking out everybody's pages... And guys... I'm just so proud of the members here! We all aimed high on our goals... and some of us have met goal and others of us are getting really, darned close, and still others have changed their goal amount a few times! I'm just pumped. And hey--Can we call Debi Sputnik since she was the first satellite walker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogfam Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I aree! I had a little write up in our local newspaper today, so that's exciting too! She put my cell in there though... (to contact me to find out how to donate.) what a drag.. I'll probably get every freak in town calling me.. lol LET'S WALK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I got the t-shirt today-- very nice! Tracy's team is awesome! They are over $9,000.00. Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonjo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes, everyone is doing a great job raising awareness for LC and money for research. Just wanted to plug the Pennsauken, NJ walk on Nov 5. Maryanne and I will be walking there and are looking for people to sponsor us too. My donor page is: https://secure.campagne-online.com/regi ... onID=11620 Please help if you can. Thanks, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hey Katie-- I think it is in the mail. So now you get two--- and a goodie bag. The ribbons turned out nice on the LCSC cards you sent me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debi Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Congrats Christy on the newspaper article, is the newspaper online so we can see it? and yes, the satellite walkers are kicking butt, all the walkers are!! If anyone hasn't been totally tapped out yet - I wanted to draw your attention to one of our younger walkers - https://secure.campagne-online.com/regi ... onID=11429 She is Becca, her mom found the Boston site and the Satellite Walker page a little over a week ago, I believe through Google. Becca's PopPop had been diagnosed 2 weeks before with Lung Cancer and Becca wanted to do something in honor of the man she adored. In just over a week, Becca raised $600, even canvassing her neighborhood and putting flyers in mailboxes. I just got an email from Becca's mom saying that Becca's PopPop died today. Her mom said that they are going to put Becca's page in the obituary, to promote awareness and hopefully raise more money to combat the disease that took her PopPop. I know that lung cancer has affected all of us in some way, shape or form. But tonight I am awed by our little heros, like Becca and like Stacy's 2 little girls and any others that I have forgotten to name - children who shouldn't have any worries, but instead are churning out flyers and pounding the pavement for donations. I am completely humbled by their unselfishness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamataca Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I'm pumped and ready to walk, too. My shirt came late this week as well. I made my goal, and then bumped it up, so that last minute 'donaters' won't blow me off. I'm going to have Mom send out reminders to the folks we haven't heard from yet the week before the walk. Just try to say "No" to her! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 The shirts came out great by the way. Mine is already gone, my dad LOVES to roam around the house in those kind of t-shirts and I saw him walking the dog wearing it the day I brought it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogfam Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Got mine too, just ordered this to wear with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauner95 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Ok, where is my shirt? I keep checking and it is not in the mail. Man our mail is slow here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 All the satellite shirts were mailed so it shouldn't be long Kim. They went out in shifts so you may have been in the last mailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogfam Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Katie, I got it here: http://goodysonline.com/ They're having a GREAT sale right now online! Even better than going in the actual store! I finally made my flyers yesterday. I went to mom's doc at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America and gave some to the receptionist and she was so nice, she told me she knew my mom and how sweet she was! She said she'd pass them out for me. How cool is that? Now, hopefully her pulmonologist and onc will donate! Still trying to find out who will take the donation boxes, Katie, hopefully I know more tonight! Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
