    Make a Difference - Get Involved

    Monday, September 29, 2008, 02:15 PM [General]

    I have to brag a little.  This past weekend I helped co-chair a fundraiser for a young lady with Cystic Fibrosis.  We raised almost $4000.00 in her honor to help her receive the necessary medical treatment.  We had a custom rods and car show, silent auction and bake sale.  I will post pictures as they come in.

    My family thought I was nuts when I told them that I was getting involved in this project but I tell you getting back to helping others has made me feel so much better.  I encourage everyone out there to take a few minutes and help someone else.  It will raise your spirits and make you realize that you must live for the day because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

    Have a great week everyone.

    Hey Lisa:
    That's great that you are helping others in need. I had the same experience upon becoming a peer counselor for the ACA and joining the fundraising committee for Limbs4Life. I enjoy helping others and a side benefit has been gaining perspective on my own disability. Keep it up girl!
