Each year, our cancer support group participates in Relay For Life (supporting American Cancer Society) & does a garage sale to help raise funds. I'm proud to say that last year our little support group of 20 or so members, (most of which are on Medicare), raised the most money for Relay for Life! Think about that...this non-corporate team of cancer survivors (& myself as their counselor) raised more money than big corporations. It's a testament to the human spirit, and I'm honored to be a part of their group. I'm so glad Noah gets to experience the importance of giving back at such an early age. Today's garage sale was a hit, and I'm sure we'll be having bake sales and other fundraising efforts as the year progresses. I'm sure proud of them!

Michael was there with us, helping & supporting!
Noah wore his Relay for Life shirt & welcomed the customers!
Our nap time was several hours late, and my poor little angel was literally lying on the floor waiting to go to bed about 5 minutes after we got home. What a great sport!
Sidebar: My goal this weekend was to run 10 miles (unfortunately, in a row without stopping) and I met my goal while Noah was napping. It's been several years since I've run that far so I'm proud of myself for pushing past that comfort zone...and it was definitely uncomfortable!

I am proud of you too, girl - both for the running and the garage sale!! You go!
