TUESDAY TIDINGS - Events for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

A few announcements:

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there are several great things going on. We will be participating in most of these activities. If you'd like to join us, please contact me at: kara.liftinghearts(at)gmail.com

1. This Saturday - the 8th of October - is the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Liberty Park. Our team is called "Hope Chests" and Bethanie Newby is the captain. In order to sign up to participate, go to www.cancer.org/stridesonline. Search for the event using your zip code, and then click on the name of your local event. Click the "Sign Up" button, and choose "Join A Team". Search for the name of our team. You can donate money if you'd like to, but it isn't necessary. We are making t-shirts for the event with our Lifting Hearts name on them. If you'd like to purchase one, they are $10. We've ordered extra, so we'll have them there that morning. You'll need to pay for one that morning if you want to wear it then. The t-shirts are black with pink writing. We have 5 extra shirts in medium, large, and x-large.

2. Ginger Johnson, from Happy Chemo, has generously invited survivors in the area to join with her in her 5 year celebration.
