Cans And Bottles For Cancer Fight
Cans And Bottles For Cancer Fight
To the Editor:
14,514 cans and bottles!
Sounds impressive and it is! Richard and I returned that many cans and bottles to make a whopping sum of $725.70 for Relay For Life (cancer) and received donations of $145 to make a total of $870.70 for 2012. Our goal was $501, one dollar more than 2011.
My goodness, the folks that gave were amazing and I thank you all from my heart. The angel (Lisa) sign maker, many folks that warmed my heart through this giving, you can be so proud. Lisa-Alex, Mark-Romy Dawn, Shirley, even a furry friend Lily. I did try to meet you at the fence and at Relay. We havenât the money, however, we have the time, so God uses what talents we have to help others.
We do March, April, and May for Relay, so my question now is, shall I do July, August, and September for the American Diabetes Association? Our beautiful granddaughter Kylie Groody was diagnosed at the age of 2, and I really want to help fight that disease as well. What do you think?
Call and just say yes if you think we should, or no if itâs not a great idea, 203-426-6224. I am really interested in your opinion.
May God bless each and every one of you for your time and nickels. Together we make a difference!
Many thanks from our hearts
