*sigh* What would you do without me? But hey, the more donations the better, right? But the people who know both of us better donate to me first, or else!
True. Very true. I don't mind being slightly dirty for charity... it all evens out in the end. (Not that I have a problem with being slightly dirty anyway...)
What you get for your donation is up for discussion once the donation has been made. Nipples are what have been requested so far, but I'm not necessarily limited to that. Just keep in mind that I don't do porno, even for whopping-huge donations. :(
But hey, as long as you donate to at least one of us, that's cool. It all ends up with the same charity anyway.
Earlier this year I watch an amazing man succumb to the quick, painful, horrid effects of pancreatic cancer. He had always been healthy, gotten regualr checkups and physicals and was an inspiration to watch. At 73 he was still active and worked part time, simply to keep from getting bored. He would have worked full time, but he was enjoying life too much and playing...be it in his yard, at the beach, or with his 14 grandchildren. He thought he strained his back..went to get it looked at, was diagnosed, and died less than 2 months later
( ... )
I lost my aunt to Cancer way back when I was 16 years old. She was always so full of life and love. When she was gone there was definitely a big hole in our family for a while :(
My buddy Gilbert (aka pikacubs) is a cancer survivor and he roped us into doing this.
I'm so bad with words in this kind of situation, so I'll try to avoid sticking my foot in my mouth and just leave it as: I'm so sorry.
When I first agreed to do the Relay, I didn't feel all that deeply involved... it sounded like a fun thing to do, and it was a "good deed", but there was no real connection to it: I'd never really been affected by cancer in any way. But our team captain is a survivor (he went through his ordeal before I met him), and I've been hearing stories about others who've had it, or who have friends and relatives who have had it, some of whom never saw the other side. I must say, this whole experience has been a big eye-opener for me. This relay has gone from being something fun to do on a Friday night to being an emotionally-charged mission. I'm so glad I got involved.
Man you will hear so many more stories that will truly humble and amaze you. it will all really put into perspective what you've been given help you truly gain a greater appreciation for life. As it gets dark, they will probably light luminaries that surround the track. At ours, each one had the name of a victim on it...they were about every 2 feet all the way around the track..the ones that were left over spelled out the word hope real big on a nearby hill, it's really a sight to see.. So..yeah...go out there and have a great time..it's fun and know...you really are doing a good deed.
Jake and I are doing Relay for Life here NE Minneapolis in August. I'm not sure he's so pumped about it, but is going to do it, because he knows how much it means to me, being a "survivor" and all.
It's a very VERY worthy charity, and I've had so much fun at past relays. Good luck and have a GREAT time!

At least, not by me. I can't speak for trevd.
