Brain tumor walk kick off event

Hello all,

On Thursday evening I went to the NBTS (National Brain Tumor Society) kick off event for the dallas walk on November 9th.  I was invited by Not only Marla Payne (the director of event for NBTS), but also by a board member Deana Woods.  So when I arrived I was chatting with a guy named Kevin. He listened to my longwinded story (he is VERY patient).  Marla then mentioned my blog and his eyes lit up and he said, "That is a great blog.  I find that brain tumor patients are the most creative wordsmiths."

Needless to say I was flattered that people up in Boston had read my blog.  So then the presentations started and Kevin got up to speak.  My jaw hit the floor.  I had No idea that I was rambling on to the Chief Development Officer of the ENTIRE NBTS network.  I was floored.

So that was my brush with greatness.

Anyway I am a team Captain my team is called team tumoriffic and I am already out of flyers and brochures.  But fear not bc Marla enabled me with more I got a whole box of them and am now going to plaster them at every starbucks in Dallas. 

I really messed up though bc I wrote on all of the ones that I gave out WWW.tumoriffic.blogspot.com

Yeah that IS NOT my blog but it is close.  WWW.tumorrific.blogspot.com

But you already know that, you're reading this.  

I contacted Connie Yates of Tom Thumb and asked her if they could fundraise for the walk.  Brain cancer is so neglected.  I have always been jealous of breast cancer they get an entire month of awareness and brain cancer gets 1 measly day.

Anywho I will be updating this blog to keep everyone updated on the progress.

I set an incredibly loft goal for the team of $2000, when Mike heard that he said it was really hard to get $1000 in 2010.  I replied you were doing it alone now you've got me.  The Chatterbox that survived brain cancer.
