Hello everyone and Happy 2012! I hope everyone is having a great year so far and has plans to make this the best year yet! Our 2012 Phoenix CureSearch Walk for Children's Cancer is coming up so fast I can hardly believe it! Last year, the walk wasn't until the end of February, but this year our walk is Sunday, February 12, 2012, so get ready because it will be here in the blink of an eye! Unfortunately I haven't been able to do as much fundraising for this years walk as I was able to last year, and that definitely bums me out, but I think we are still going to have a great walk with more support than ever! So far, Coleman's Crew has raised $2,940.00 and I bet we will raise even more by walk day! We currently have 17 people registered to walk-thank you so much! We have created a Facebook event for the walk, and as of right now there are 20 people who have replied as "Attending" to this event. Three of those people have registered online, so thank you for getting that done already! If you have replied on Facebook as "Attending", please register on the CureSearch site as soon as you can, it makes getting everything and everyone organized much easier, and I will be able to have a better idea of how many t-shirts we need to have made!
If you still need to register online to be a part of Coleman's Crew, please go to http://www.curesearchwalk.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=480023&lis=1&kntae480023=1675EE2F74BE4FFAB5D3F7635A753A3A&team=4911336 and click the blue link that says "Join Our Team" (this blue link can be found right under the words "Welcome to the Team Page of Coleman's Crew). Registration shouldn't take more than ten minutes and is pretty easy. There is a $10.00 walkers' registration fee (with the exception of young children, they do not have to pay a fee), but ten dollars is the only amount you will be required to give. If you wish to give more, raise money, or make a personal donation, thank you so much and we truly appreciate it, but you are in no way required or expected to do so. Please note, if you aren't on Facebook, that is okay. I created the Facebook event so my friends and family through Facebook would have access to the walk information as well. However, all information you need is right here on this blog. This blog is your number one source for all up-to-date and accurate information regarding the walk. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about anything, feel free to contact me, Kassie Rehorn, at krehorn@asu.edu or Susan Rehorn!
If you do belong to Facebook and have been invited to the event and happen to be reading this blog, please know that it is okay to "Decline" the invitation. I know sometimes people feel bad saying that they won't be attending because it is a charity event, but it is absolutely fine, there is no judgment here and I would much rather have an accurate idea of how many people will be there instead of having a whole bunch of people who have replied "Maybe" or said "Yes" because they felt bad but won't actually be there. I want to have a realistic idea of how many people will be walking with us, how many t-shirts we need to have made, how many people I need to be in contact with, etc. Although we welcome everyone to join us on this walk, please avoid signing up last minute if you can, having everyone signed up prior to walk day registration makes things go much more smoothly.
Once again, thank you so much for being a part of this wonderful day, it means so much to me and my family. Together, we will stand up to cancer and do our part to ensure a future where cancer doesn't exist! Stay tuned for more information, it will be coming! Feel free to contact me for anything you need, I would love to help!
God Bless!
