Fond du Lac raised over $455,000.00 last night in the 2009 Relay for Life. We haven't got a total on what our "Hopper's Hood" brought in yet. It was a cold and rainy day and night. But we managed to pull it off again......a very successful relay. Actually, is was always a steady rain and around 11pm it started thundering and lightning and everyone had to be pulled off the track and put in to the high school. We had wild storms all night, especially at 2 am and 4 am. The 4 am one almost knocked me out of bed! 2 of the 3 tents we had on our site were blown away and wrecked. Nothing, even a storm could not ruin the event....Fond du Lac is always committed to their causes. Today everyone was tired and trying to recuperate. The theme for this years event was Rock n Rollin cancer away. And yes.....that is JEFF dressed up as a woman. Our "Dude looks like a Lady" guy didn't show up and so they recruited Jeff to dress up and go out for a 1/2 hr. walk around the track and ask for $$$$$ to be dropped in his purse! He brought in $200.00 for that little contest. LOL I told him he should Nair that mustache!
We went from in the 60's yesterday to almost 90 today. I had to laugh the other day when my friend commented on the fact that we were riding in the convertible and I still had a snow brush in the backseat! You know you are in Wisconsin ....when.....you are always prepared for the worst weather. LOLLOL (I did take the snow brush out now)
Many thanks to our family and friends who donated so generously to the Relay for Life this year. We deeply appreciate it.
This is a place where I have shared and still share my continued cancer journey with Non- Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Jeff's prostate cancer. It is a place for us to share our daily lives and offer some inspiration to you. We praise the Lord that we both have celebrated more birthdays.
