Run for teh Cure updates
Well we don’t have a team this year. Why? Lack of confirmation from people, either just signing up or not even taking the time to tell me sorry no time, don’t want to, can’t be bothered. I needed 4 more people to make it happen, and all I heard were cricket chirps. Everyone knows my one panic button is lack of planning, and wow did this ever make my skin crawl.
In anycase, Juli and I are still planning on going and walking in support of my mom and her survival on October 2. My mum was to join us this year, however she is preparing for some reconstructive surgery, so she is unable to attend. Maybe next year who knows.
It’s really disheartening to plan for something like this, to support a good cause, your mother and all of that, and just be left sitting there twiddling your thumbs because you have no answers. I should just stop planning, that way I don’t have to worry about being shafted by people and having my own day fucked up.

If I lived closer I would come and walk with you both.. :)… I’m sure my girlfriend would too… (she had cancer in her mouth… I say had, cause they got it all)…
I’m sorry things didn’t work out for a team this year. I used to love getting together with people and doing things. Usually I was the organiser. I got a bee in my bonnet about people either saying no from the outset or ringing me on the day and saying “you know tonight isn’t going to work for me”…. So I stopped organising. What do you know, we stopped doing things together. I guess that means I kinda know how you feel..

Sorry to read this, but hope your walk went well nonetheless… I know my school put together a team for the Run for the Cure, and I sponsored a couple of people too. Don’t give up… the more you try for it, the more it’ll become implanted in people’s psyches… they will come to associate this time of year with the run. Everyone will know someone - probably someone close to them - who has had cancer. I know I do. So if I ever find myself unable to be there in person… you can bet my money will be there! :)
