Strategizing - Year 2.

I spoke with my friend Tyler tonight regarding this season. As many of you may remember, Ty was a mentor to me throughout my first DFMC season. He is a great friend and was my fundraising coach last year. Well, tonight I am officially a fundraising coach myself. A bit crazy because I only have a year behind me on this whole process. But I know I learned a lot. In celebration of this fundraising season, I would like to inform my avid readers that yes, I have begun "strategizing" for the upcoming year. Let's just say....I am looking forward to getting new donors...

Apjohn Again!

We are back folks! Michigan Football season is finally over. So what does that mean? It's time for a new season to begin! Tis the season to begin another year of fundraising. Hats off for the second year in a row to Mr. Andrew Apjohn for making the first donation to DFMC! Not only was he my first donor two years in a row, but he DOUBLED last year's donation. Way to make a point! Thanks Apjohn. Rest of you, donate here.

(Below are the Apjohn twins and the Delev Aussie twins...let's see if I can get double twin donations?)

Truth from Joan

The challenge and the energy running requires may be a selfish one, but it actually motivates me to be stronger in my relationships.

A Family Affair

My dad and sister joined me this year in the running of the 2008 BAA Half.

Unfortunately, I was at the long line at the Porta Potties when this family photo was taken. But here is my athletic family waiting for the start of the Half (Carlene and cousin Geoff, Ashley, Dad and our fabulous cheerleader, Ms. Lila)

Ashley and I at the finish...we will have some MAJOR sibling rivalry going on this year because she finished just two minutes after me in her first half marathon!

So proud of my dad's strong finish!
His feet were barely touching the ground!!!

The family - a fun day.
