The Ride for Hope
May 16th, 2009

    Wheels of Hope is an association that was formed in 2005 to raise money to benefit the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.  We have several members in our group that are avid motorcyclists and that are also cancer survivors or have been affected by cancer in some way.  As a group we decided that we wanted to start raising money to fund research to find a cure for this awful disease.  So we combined our two passions together and decided to organize a non-alcoholic motorcycle ride that goes to area churches instead of the normal “poker run” locations.  All riders and the community at large are invited to a hog roast at the completion of the ride where we have an auction and give out door prizes.  All proceeds are then donated to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

    This is where your organization comes in.  We are writing to you to request merchandise from your franchise to auction off for the benefit of raising more money or to give to our riders as appreciation for their support.  In the past 2 years our organization has donated over $30,000.00 to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life from our benefit ride.  This year we would like to match that number in a single ride.  If you would be willing to donate any products and/or autographed materials we would appreciate it.

Thank you for your time in reading this letter.  If you have any other questions about our organization or any other topics please call one of the above numbers and someone will be glad to help you.

I have donated a “Hope” bracelet for the cause, and am trying to finish up more items, but don’t know if I will get them out in the mail in time or not…. Keeping my fingers crossed to help with the cure!

Where do the beads go?

LOL!!  yep, that is what I have been asking myself – where are all the beads going off to?  what do they become? 

For a short period of time I was able to make a LOT of beads for a wonderful designer, Gabi.  She has a web page up and running now!  http://laboutiquemimzy.com/     There is not much on it yet, but I am sure in due time, she will have cute little items for sale!!

But you can find her designs (and my beads) at the Black Lable  – I high end pet boutique in Dallas TX.  (how cool is that?)  Not only can you find my beads, but you can also find Lee Lee’s beads (aka. Leah’s beads) 

Leah and I met through ebay’sbead groups… what an awsome and giving gal she is!!  I don’t know what I would have done with out her.  (Thanks Leah!  You are truly a Blessing from God,  and I thank him every day to have gotten the opportunity to know you and develop such a wonderful friendship! – Love ya sis!!)

I know that there are a few other Polymer Clay artist who are a part of this too…. I have no clue who they are.  If you are one of the artist, please post and attach your web page and contact information! 

 

God works in mysterious ways, who would ever belive that such a small town girl would be able to sell her beads to a designer that sells world wide?   Little Blessings fall on us each and every day, we just have to be the ones to acknowledge them for what they are – wonderful Gifts from God!

 

This week is passion week…. think about how wonderful our God is, to send his only son to die for us, simple sinners, but the most amazing thing is that he didn’t just die, He has risen from the dead!!  One day, I will join him and praise him, and give him all the glory!  What a beautiful day that will be!! 

 

I do hope you have a Blessed Easter – I know that my Easter will be Blessed!!

 

It’s Elysah’s 1st birthday, Rob, I and the Kids have been invited by her family to rejoice in her most wonderful first year of life!

 

Happy Birthday pretty little girl!  We do love ya bunches!!
