Jewelry Fundraiser

| No Comments

Last night we hosted a Silpada jewelry party at our house to help with fundraising. Melissa set it all up and coordinated everything -- I just made sure to show up and offer beverages to everyone who came. Marcy, the Siplada representative, was a Team in Training alumni in 1997 and has been giving 20% of total jewelry sales for events like these to TNT.

There was a pretty good turnout, a nice blend of family, dance friends, and even a good contingent from Carleton -- including Heidi, Jen Ryan, and a surprise guest appearance by Avery (Duffy) Scheib. Lots of great jewelry on display!

The good news is that Marcy is keeping this party "open" for the next couple of days. If anybody would like to take a look at some nice silver jewelry between now and Friday, July 16th, you can look at the catalog on Marcy's website: http://mysilpada.com/marcy.sackett. To order, simply send an e-mail to marcy dot sacket at gmail dot com. Please let her know that this purchase should apply towards the party hosted by Melissa Albay on 07/13 for my TNT fundraising efforts. Marcy will help total everything and sort out taxes and shipping and handling. Orders are shipped directly to your house.

A Few Notes

rkb in 1990
2010 marks my twentieth year in remission from AML. To celebrate, I will be training for and running two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland on October 25th.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (or through the site archives).

But now I will also be writing about my training and fundraising goals, progress, as well as other thoughts, feelings, and experiences along the way for this milestone anniversary.
