Relay for Life 2011 – Final Totals

I meant to relate this info about a month ago when I found out our results. But there ya go.

Anyhoo, if you were wondering how the UVMC Lab’s Relay for Life team did this year, I’ll finally let you know. Our team goal was $2500 and we actually managed to achieve it, and then some. Our final amount was over $2700! Woohoo!

Thanks, again, go out to those of you who’ve donated to Relay for Life and/or the American Cancer Society! I really appreciate your help and I hope next year, I’ll be more on the ball than I was this year. Heh.

Hello May! What a surprise!

It’s already the third of May (with tomorrow being Star Wars Day – it’s too soon!) We have the last cafeteria calendar for the school year (with the three June dates stuffed on the bottom row). The senior countdown is less than 20 days (I think it’s 15). Time seems to be soaring at this point.

With that in mind, I’m running out of time to collect moolah for Relay for Life. If you’re interested and haven’t donated yet, check out my previous post for details. I’m just $25 shy of my goal. (Mom’s actually hit her goal, despite what her webpage says, but donations to her page are just as beneficial to the American Cancer Society as donations to mine.) Maybe next year I’ll be more on the ball and shoot for a higher goal. 🙂

Thank you so much to those of you who donated to the cause! Mom and I really appreciate the contributions. (Greg, if you didn’t notice, mom wrote a personal thanks to you on the previous entry. Since she was anonymous, it was originally screened, so I don’t know if it was forwarded on to your or not.)

With physics doing current electricity, chemistry making molecular models, and advanced problems in science doing the Mentos & Diet Coke reaction, things are exciting in science at school. Go science!

This Thursday will be my last weigh-in for our current session of WeightWatchers. Dunno if we’re doing it again. I’m just under 2 pounds shy of my 12-week goal. Maybe if I eat nothing until then, I’ll lose those last 2 and then get my money back. Yeah right, me not eat? Who’s kidding whom?

Anyway, hope things are a little less rushed for my flist. June’ll be here before I know it!

Relay for Life 2011

After my introduction to Relay for Life last year (well, beyond donations, which I’d done for several years already), I decided to “officially” join this year. On May 6&7 this year, my mom’s laboratory will be participating in Miami County’s Relay for Life. During this time, they will have someone always walking the relay route. Mom and I will be walking on Friday evening since she’s working Saturday (subbing for one of her friends recuperating from surgery). I could do the alnighter again, like I did last year, but it’s mom’s friends, not mine, who are there. I get on OK with them, but it won’t be the same without mom.

If you’ve been meaning to send some money along to the American Cancer Society or have been wondering where your next donation should go to, why not contribute to my Relay for Life goal? My page is available at the Relay for Life website.

If you’re feeling overly generous, mom could use some donors too.

Don’t feel bad if you’re not able to donate at this time. I always take my time to figure out which organizations will be getting my hard-earned money. I like what the American Cancer Society is doing for people fighting the long, hard battle, so ACS will continue to get my support. Each person has their own priorities and the ACS might not be one of yours at the moment. But if you can help out with our Relay team, we’d all appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
