Thanks Stagger......

Here's the bet:

So...Tomas and I put a bet on the video. If there are less than 10 likes by tomorrow morning....I have to put my head in a dumpster. If there are more than 10 likes...Tomas has to serve Anna breakfast in bed next Saturday.

Ha! with this crowd I think it would have been better to have left the bet unmentioned!

Tomas really likes the 'video' of the radio commercial. He came up with a weird...12 people looking at it by the end of the week. I think we could get more than 12. If you could like it and post your location, that would be appreciated.

Six days until Tomas leads us on his 7th Walk. If you are going to donate; now is a good time.

On Tuesday Tomas & Anna will be on a radio talk show from 08:00-09:00 EDT:

They spent 3 hours outside of a grocery store Friday after school, the attached picture is from that event. Lessons learned from that event:

"Lessons learned from the donation table at Giant: there are many people touched by blood cancer. There was a lot of talking, hugs, tears, and inspiration. There are so many stories that were shared, that need to be shared. Most of Team Tomas donation drives have been a 'drive by' people quickly donate and go on with their lives.

Today was different, people actually stopped and shared their lives when they realized that Tomas had leukemia and that he and his sister have been so active in fund raising. There is an employee at the store that was just diagnosed recently. His sister mentioned this and Tomas went in to check on the man, basically Tomas is living proof that you can survive. Once we finished all of us went in to talk to the man. A very humbling experience hanging outside of a grocery store. On a fund raising note; Tomas and Anna want to do at least 2 of these drives next year."

Woo Hoo!

My video editing skills really needs work.

Here's the radio talk show from this morning. It is about 33 minutes long I ended up putting pictures of the various Light The Night Walks that Tomas & Anna have participated in since 2007.
