Friday is here! YAY!!!
It's been a crazy summer and I've barely had time to blog; BUT I'm so glad I did get the announcement out about the Ride 4 Jess..... I am so excited to share this with everyone and I thank you for your support!
Have you "liked" us on FB yet??? You should! Please go NOW and like us - follow the new blog Ride 4 Jess and keep up to date with all the information surrounding the ride.
This weekend is jammed packed (as summer weekends usually are) but I'm thrilled to hop on my bike and start riding away.
The bike ride will definitely be a challenge; but it will all be worth it in the end.
If you have any ideas on how we can better promote this ride and cause please email me and let me know!
If you are in the DFW area and have connections at news stations, radio stations, newspapers, etc I would love to utilize your resources.
The more I can spread the word about this cause, the more money we can raise, research can improve, patient advocacy can improve and WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL!!!!!!!!

What can you do???????
THANK YOU for all the wonderful and supportive comments about my ambitious 12hr bike ride! I really appreciate them and am so excited to embark on this journey!
So many of you have asked "what can I do to help"????
My initial list of TO-DO's is growing..... but that's for me to worry about and not you...
The #1 thing YOU CAN DO is to SPREAD THE WORD!!! Please share my fundraising page with ANYONE and EVERYONE you can! Post it on your blog, FB, Twitter, WHATEVER - send a carrier pigeon; JUST GET THE WORD OUT!!!! Even .50 would help....this goes directly to the National Brain Tumor Society - it does not go to me, my bank account or anyone else.
Step #2 - if you donate (which I sure hope you do) - Engage your corporation for a matching donation. It may take a few extra minutes but I know my company will match up to $5,000 of contributions is a calendar year!! That means if I donated $100 - they will match that and make it $200 total!!! Think about how that could change a life!!!!
Step #3 - RIDE WITH ME!!!!!! The place is To Be Determined - I'm hoping it will end up somewhere public but it may just happen in my living room (let's be honest) - You can hop on your bike Saturday October 8 and RIDE TO FIGHT BRAIN TUMORS!!!!!!! Let me know that you are going to participate; details regarding the ride and riding in your hometown will be delivered shortly.
Step #3.5 - WALK WITH US!!! If you live in the DFW area and want to participate in the walk in Fort Worth on November 5 - JOIN OUR TEAM, FACING GIANTS, HERE If you don't live here but still want to get involved you join as a virtual participant! ($10)
Step #4 - I'm working on a giveaway to host for all of you that donate............ so stay tuned for that!!!!!!
A new blog/website dedicated solely to this effort will debut sometime in the near future....working on that too.....
Now off to spread the word (you should do the same!)

The BIG announcement
It's a BIG announcement; but without many details - it's still in the infancy stages...
So many are familiar with the great EMZ, you read her, you love her (instantly) and you want her to be your running buddy, best friend, champion, and second mom (what a lucky little girl peanut is).
She is awe-inspiring, has the best abs known to man, the greatest belt buckle ever created, and a compassionate heart.
She has inspired me through her blog posts for quite sometime now, her shoe collection is unreal.... and she got me thinking.
I was standing over a pot of spaghetti one night thinking about Jess, EMZ, Sojourner and the Brain Tumor Walk - how can I MAKE a difference THIS YEAR (remember here?)
and then it hit me......
A 12 hour bike ride for Jess.
EMZ ran for Sojourner - I will ride for Jess (and all other BT patients, families, survivors, friends, caregivers, researchers, etc)
So ... here it is...
When: October 8, 2011
Where: To be determined...
Why: Ride to fight Brain Tumors 2011
How can you help: GO HERE and donate to my fundraising page
