Cure By Design – American Cancer Society Event June 18, 2011
01 year ago
Scotty is going to be a cancer survivor model in this Cure By Design Event and I am of course going to be there to root him on. The tickets are a bit on the pricey side but it’s for a great cause and should be a great time — Would love to have some friends there as well if possible…
Cure by Design is an event in which the fashion, design and retail communities join forces with the local corporate community to benefit the American Cancer Society. The focus of this special evening is a fashion show that spotlights designer fashions and, more importantly, the cancer survivors who model them. These survivor models are living proof of the strides we are making in the fight against cancer, and their vibrant smiles portray a message of hope for the cure.
The money raised at Cure by Design enables the American Cancer Society to fund cutting-edge research, early detection and prevention education, advocacy efforts, and life-affirming patient services. By supporting Cure by Design, you are partnering with the American Cancer Society to help cancer patients in your community.
Please join us for a fabulous fashion show, elegant reception, and exciting live and silent auctions, as we celebrate survivorship and fashion!

I had such a great day yesterday — the weather was perfect and stars were aligned. Scott and the kids let me sleep in — and I woke up to tulips and handmade presents, then Scott & I made a gluten free breakfast pizza together, did some shopping alone, napped, then went out for an early family dinner, had ice cream sundaes for dessert — and to top it all off I really do have 2 of the most amazing, funny, fun kids in the entire world. If you had asked me when I was in my early 20′s where I would be today — I could never have imagined it as it is. I just didn’t know what
life was going to bring me – which when you are that young is probably a good thing! I could not ask for a better outcome than where I am today. My family is happy, bills are paid, health has been restored –
The handmade presents included the Book of Awesome Moms, where I made the top of the list and the I Love Mom book, where my great attributes are listed one by one and they included, being beautiful, nice, and helping with homework. I do sound Awesome if I say so myself!
And notice, that I did eat ice cream yesterday. Although I recognize that the after effects of eating crap, I still do regularly have stuff on the ‘no no’ list. It’s all about making sure that you get right back on focus when you do — life is a marathon, not a sprint!
