.:] Avon Walk [:.

So I'm doing this. It's funny how sometimes things I should be completely geeking over, I pull away from instead.

The other day MK asked if I thought she would be able to pull in the 1800$ donation in. If anyone's seen Kitty in event mode, you know she can move mountains, so I said of course. But I've also seen MK in full-on self-doubt mode. So I kinda impulsively said I would do it with her. She even up the ante to 2000$. And while I was all geeked out as we IMed all this planning and ideas, my registration got rejected online for some reason. I used, what I thought might have been insufficient funds, as a vehicle for procrastination. I started doing what I usually do. Started making up excuses in my head of what to tell MK - why I couldn't do the Avon Walk - creating other things in my schedule that may create a problem.

But then there goes MK talking this thing up like mad and getting really hyped and excited. We talked again the other night, making plans, etc. And as it usually turns out if I take a moment and stop thinking about me for a tic, I have ALOT of people to do this for. My mother is a survivor of cancer. So is my aunt. So is a classmate.

The major part of my fundraising is going to be from donating massages. I had the wonderful opportunity of working with cancer patients during my community outreach with CSMT. I'll have to share more of those stories as I remember them 'cause many of these ladies shared their stories with me. Its one of many reasons why I feel blessed that I have this gift to share with people that are sick. If I can share my time and massages with fundraising for this event, then good. And I get to support my friend as she does her fundraising, then awesome. And get a great reason to train and get in shape and knock another item off my list of things to do before I die, then mo' better. If I get to come away from all of this knowing that I accomplished all of this mindfully and not just impulsively, then the best!

Meanwhile you can check out the Avon Walk online and go ahead make your donations!
