This is my son Jarrett and I in October of ’08 cheering on Team Kimpossible. I was so inspired through the weekend witnessing the extraordinary passion and commitment of the walkers that I signed up to walk for Tampa ’09. Doing this presented a challenge for my wife and I. Since she did, of course, walk as well. We both had to raise $4600 combined instead of $2300 for one of us. We felt we could meet this challenge and because of our very generous donors we did! We were then able to concentrate on putting in countless hours training, preparing, money spent on supplies, new walking shoes, hotel stay, etc. not to mention the fact we took off work and put our bodies through a grueling 72 hours of walking in the Florida sun, sleeping in a tent for two nights, and being simply uprooted from our daily lives. With all that in mind, we didn’t hesitate.

We are already looking forward to the October 2010 Tampa 3-day! This year my fundraising got off to a VERY quick start! As of 7/14/2010 I already have my minimum $2300 raised with only 11 donations! I have some very special people to thank but without their permission I will refrain from mentioning their names. You know who you are. Thank you.

With that, I would like to encourage you to donate to one of my other teammates. We are required to raise $2300 otherwise we are not able to participate as a walker. Your generous donation WILL make a difference in this world. Please visit our DONATE page. The more needy walkers are listed at the top.

If you would also like to attend our 2nd annual Strike Cancer! Spare the Tatas! bowling fundraiser please visit http://strikecancer.com for more information and pictures from last year’s event. This year can only be better!

Thank you for your consideration in helping us rid the world of breast cancer! Everyone deserves a lifetime!
