This Friday I am so excited to be able to celebrate THREE YEARS cancer free and as always the only way I want to celebrate is by raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The past two years on my Cancer Free Anniversary date I’ve raised about $800 for the kids, so this year I really want to break into that $1,000 range.

I was lucky, extremely lucky, and I know this and am so thankful for it every single day, but there are others, many, who are not as fortunate as I am. Luckily I have the means and the passion to reach others and bring awareness not just for cervical cancer (that’s what I had) but to the amazing things that happen within the walls at St. Jude. Since their inception they have pushed the childhood cancer survival rate to over 80%..that’s huge, considering when ST. Jude first opened their doors a child being diagnosed with cancer was pretty much a death sentence. But now there is hope, there is a chance and because of people like you who give no family ever pays at St. Jude.

I’m not asking for $100, I’m not even asking for $50, I’m asking for TEN BUCKS, don’t be a cheap ass, everyone can afford TEN DOLLARS! Skip the dozen donuts this weekend, instead of buying your drunk ass friends a round of shots this weekend donate it to St. Jude. That’s it, that is all it will take….TEN BUCKS! If enough of you step up and we can raise $1000 we will be making a difference, we will be helping a child live, plus we are constantly doing so much dumb $h**, lets for once do something right, hahaha. Plus, what better way to say what my shirt says…Fxck Cancer!

Lastly, if you think about it, will you please wear TEAL for me on Friday, it’s the color for gynecological cancers and this is just a great way to bring awareness and please post it either on Twitter, Facebook or my Fan Page. To all my female friends please also schedule your annual exams today if you haven’t been current on them, early detection is key and why I am so lucky.

Now go donate, lets get $1,000 for the kids!!!!
