Be Bold, Be Bald!
Next Friday, October 22, I will be participating in the 2nd annual Be Bold Be Bald event, sponsored by the Small Army For a Cause. This isn't a typical fundraiser venture like a marathon or 5K, instead of endurance this is more focused on vanity. What does that mean? Well, I'll tell y'all. It means that on October 22, I will be wearing a Bald Cap honoring all of the courageous Cancer patients and survivors that lost their hair during their fight. I figure they have to live with it on a daily basis, so I can do it for a day!
I have decided to wear my Bald Cap in support of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation "Moving Breast Cancer Beyond a Cure", improves the quality of life for women suffering from breast cancer, through advocacy, education and research. . The other Beneficiaries include: 1)The Jimmy Fund, supports the fight against cancer for children and adults at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, 2)The Lance Armstrong Foundation, identifies the issues that cancer survivors must face and finds a way to improve the quality of life for those in the global cancer community, 3)The Prostate Cancer Foundation, helps discover better treatments and potential cures for prostate cancer as the global leader in prostate cancer research, 4)The International Myeloma Foundation, works to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure.
I have family and close friends that have battled Breast Cancer and Won, but wouldn't it be great if there were a cure?!! That's why I'm doing this, my fundraising goal is $500, however I have only received $50 in donations. I realize the economy isn't great, but if everyone donated $5 my very modest goal would be reached. I have emailed, snail-mailed, Facebooked, and Tweeted, still a very underwhelming results. That's okay, I'm doing it anyway, but please just go to my Be Bold Be Bald site and check it out, you can even make a tax deductible donation on a secure site!!
Every little bit counts...and I will be posting pictures to everyone that helps out!!!

Doggie Style
Christmas is only 75 days away, so it's time to start thinking of what to get for your four legged babies! There are a couple things I have come across that are in my opinion a must have for your pet.
My first find is not only cool, but it's practical too. It's a dog collar from SurvivalStraps.com , these collars are made from military paracords and come in a wide array of colors. The neat thing is proceeds go to The Wounded Soldier Projects, also if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a rope, all you have to do and unravel the collar. I will definitely be getting one of these for all 3 of my dogs!
The second find comes from fetchingtags.net, these tags are a little pricey but they are super cute! They are handmade and hand stamped with your pets information, also you can chose from one of their clever tag-lines or with one you come up with. Even if you don't have a pet of your own this would make a perfect gift for the pet lover in your life, I know I'd love to get one for one of my babies!
So there are a couple ideas to get ya goin, and a bag of treats from my homemade dog treat collection is a great addition to any pet present! If y'all come across any cute pet gift idea just give me a hollar, I'd love to hear from ya!
