Have you planned your summer holidays yet?

A group of us within our community wanted to do something to help those out who have been suffering with the high costs of cancer treatements and such. So 7 years ago we started our lil organization to raise money for the cancer vics themselves. Each August long weekend we set up a lil haying in the 30's project. We have gone from 100 guests/vistors to over 5000 in the past 7 years. I'll post the link and if you are interested in checkin it out or even coming down to see for yourself.. consider this your invitation :D Please feel free to leave me comments or questions about it if you are so inclined.

what a wonderful idea, lacey!!! Last year, we had a breast cancer awareness day at our little hospital and we sent out flyers, gave instructions and spoke with many victims and survivors!! Since then, a few of us (mainly myself and a co-worker who was a hospice nurse for years) have thought of doing something along the same lines as what you are doing!! We are attempting to organize a sort of "relay for life" to take place this summer (july or august) and have folks walk/run laps around our high school track or gymnasium for donations! The money raised would go to all victims of medical illness....money for travelling back and forth to billings for treatment...money for the hotel and meals....money for daycare while you are at your treatment...you know...money for those expenses that MOST insurances do not cover!! Wish me luck as I am new at this type of thing!! :D
