Just kidding. :-D
We're going to do some sight seeing of course, but the main reason we're going is to give our support to Jodes, Jillie and the rest of the Team Beach Babes in the San Diego 2007 Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk.
Sometime in January of this year, I saw a post from a fellow Blogger, Jodes and her commitment to raise $2,200 for breast cancer research and to walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk in November. I was impressed by her commitment and donated a few dollars to her in the name of my late wife Barbara. Barbara died from brain cancer in October of 2005. Barbara had squirreled some money away and I felt it was only right to give the money to Jodes to help her raise the money she had committed to raise in fight against breast cancer.
Sometime over the next 11 months, Jodes hooked up with some other equally committed woman and they formed a walking group they named Team Beach Babes. So far the team has raised a total of $22,009. That’s a lot of money and they should all be congratulated.
Thursday evening Lori and I are meeting Jodes, Jillie and maybe a couple of other of the beach babes for drinks. I can't wait!
