Raising money for any cause can be a daunting task.  Making countless calls and licking lots of stamps is hard work.  There is always the question of "when will I have the time?" and not to mention the fear of rejection.  I myself am incredibly fearful of rejection.  However, breast cancer is such a devastating disease that can rob a child of a mother or a husband of a wife or even a mother of her daughter, that most people don't even think twice about saying yes to a donation.  Our team, Mamas With A Mission, has been so blessed with generous and caring friends, family and even strangers who are willing to give us what ever they can afford in order to support our fight against breast cancer.  Thanks to all of them, our team has gotten very close to our goal of $10,000.  As of now, we are at 74% of our goal. 

Our big fundraising event is scheduled for Sat., August 22 at the Millersville VFW at 7 p.m.  Titled "End of Summer Fling", it promises to be a night of fun for everyone.  We are having a DJ, all you can drink soda and beer, snacks, and best of all, a Chinese Auction with lots of choice items that I REALLY want to win!  We are hoping that this event will bring us to our goal.

Fundraising is only a part of participating in the walk, but it is a large part.  Honestly, I think my friends and family may be just as relieved as I am when our team reaches our goal..
