Thank You Smartasses!!

It just occurred to me that I never updated everyone on the October 4 Get Your Rear in Gear event. I am thrilled to inform you that not only was Eve’s Smartasses the second highest fundraising team, but thanks to all of your support, I was also the second highest fundraiser for the event! I am so proud of our collective efforts.

I want to thank those of you who came and ran (or walked) the course. It was an early morning and quite a shlep for many of you (especially my amazing mother who flew in from Spokane to support the effort). Fortunately, it was a spectacular day in San Francisco. I am also incredibly grateful to all of you who gave to the cause. Your donations will help to fund research and education surrounding this terrible disease.

Next year, I hope to sign many more of you up to join us. It was a really fun event and the mood was joyous as everyone was there with a purpose - to prevent and cure colon cancer. (And you can’t beat the names of some of the teams – that’s what happens when the colon is your inspiration.)

Thanks again for your phenomenal support. We will fight this disease together and, someday, I just know we will win!
