it's another new year...

so my mother, the inspiration for this event, has started a blog. it's called cancer, what else is new , i am sure she will be journaling about her treatments, struggles, musings on the health care industry, as well as her general thoughts on life, family and new york giants football. if you have any interest in the roots of the this event you should check it out, i am sure it will be an informative read.

the holidays have been abnormally busy for me this year. i am sure some of you, like me have been busy with work, family, friends, party after party after party and life in general. (was it me or did we all try to mask our distaste and general unhappiness with 2008 with an unrelenting schedule of hang outs, gettogethers and parties to ring in the new year????) but fortunately it is time to get back on track and buckle down for whats going to be a long and trying 2009...

in the upcoming weeks we should have some awesome updates

1st- we will have a paypal account set up for anyone who wishes to donate early

2nd-in the coming weeks we will be posting up some proposed ideas for t-shirts and pins and we would love for you to comment and even contribute. if you have any idea's and or designs you think might work for us feel free to shoot them our way for consideration. mission.remission@gmail.com

3rd- we will hopefully have some definite information about a sister event that is being planned for the same day to take place in Kansas City Missouri. it is going to be put together by Aimee Duke. if you are local to that area and want to volunteer or contribute you should get in touch with her @ aimeexduke@hotmail.com. i would love for her to receive the support that i have gotten. i have found her drive and eagerness to create another venue for contributors and supporters inspiring and it's really put a smile on my face.

again, thank you all for the support, it has really given me a new found strength and courage to face this new year with hope and compassion.
