Lauren's World

An Idea

The day was a normal day on Ass the Cafe Runs. I got my badge to work at the air port! Wahoo! Now to find another job that pays more and has insurance. We will see, I am going for TSA, but they sure are taking there time posting the job up. I am told soon.

Anyways I am going to become more active in chariy events and the like. I have joined the March of Dimes five mile walk downtown.

Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.

Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

If you are intrested on donating and please do, please go here, even a doller will help.

The walk is on the 30th of April. On the 29th, I am going to go to a meeting with Team in Training which is part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

All TNT participants are involved in a lifesaving mission: to help the Society cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

They will train me to walk the really BIG walks, the 20 something mile walks. :) Then once I raise enough money they will pay for flight and hotel stays where ever I decide to walk.

Which brings me to my idea. I am going to ask the apt complex wo writes the news letter and if I could contribute articals. Then at some point I can talk about TNT and ask for donations through that as well. Also talk to HEB about donating and maybe matching donations or something.

I can't wait!
