2009 is the inaugural year for Lake County Making Strides for Breast Cancer with the American Cancer Society. We officially make up 9 affiliates across the state of IL now! I had the honor and privilege to be the emcee for the event as well as walk with our fundraisers. As of this morning, our event raised over 112,000.00...and counting!!!
We had amazing cheerleaders - literally - throughout the walk, a HUGE turnout of survivors, and even a tent for SHOPPING!!! Oh, heaven! I can't wait for next year's event...I get to be back in sweats and no makeup again!!! ;)
Special thanks to Sarah (for yet another flawless script), Kari, Jessica - Debra and Anna "K" who I just met (amazing women with ACS) and am looking forward to working with in the future - Chris, our terrific DJ who continues to give selflessly of his time and equipment to many of the ACS walks/functions, and of course to Jason Pawlowski, for once again being the man of the hour, taking pictures and taking care of me. You are a Godsend.
To Independence Grove of Libertyville, IL...thank you for the beautiful space to walk...Making Strides to end BC...it was PERFECT!!!
