The Seattle Brain Cancer Walk is a week from Saturday. As a co-organizer of the Patient/Survivor Tent we have been working round-the-clock to get all the details in order. As they say: the devil is in the details! This week I completed our volunteer notes, a PowerPoint presentation for volunteer orientation, and made bright green name tags for all our volunteers.
Luckily, I was able to take a few minutes out of my evening to play bocce with my hubby...later he beat me (soundly) in two board games. Then it was back to working on the walk for me.
Tonight we got some AMAZING NEWS from the Walk. An anonymous donor is matching up to the first half-million dollars we raise. Holy Cows....gotta get fundraising! It's an incredible offer. Given that the Ivy Center seems to get all our fundraising matched 10 times over that $500,000 will someday be $5 Million dollars in research and services. I ask you, how many investments grow ten times in this day-and-age? Well, it can't be fast enough for people with brain cancer. I'll keep you posted as Walk Day nears!
