It's Gonna be BIG!...

As the family nomination deadline has past, we are now working to reach out to all the nominators and families.

I am sad to announce the number of families this year - for it breaks my heart to know how many people are touched by cancer. 

I choose to redirect my thoughts and think of how many families we can show we care about them!

This is the 5th year for Team Vogel vs Cancer - and It's Gonna be BIG and we need all of you!

We've selected 21 families from the Winona Area to be recipients of the funds raised for this season.  (We will also give to the Oasis Fund at Franciscan Skemp and Cancer Research at Gundersen Lutheran).

Although I wish my path did not cross, with these families, for this reason - it is an honor to show them the love and support of Team Vogel.

Fools Five Fun...

This past weekend was the Fools Five event in Lewiston.  It is always an amazing turnout, but sometimes the weather can be a little stubborn.  This year - the weather was wonderful (a heavy breeze for the runners) but the sun was out.

It's an amazing opportunity - if you have not participated, I highly recommend you mark it on your calendar this year.

In the past years - I've ran the 8K...  This year I walked the 1 mile with my family (I say I decided to do this for it's suppose to be a family event.  It possibly had something to do with my lack of training and fearing I would be found on the side of the road around mile 3).  Needless to say - I finished my 1 mile race with a time of 31 mins. and 6 seconds.  I got stopped a couple times by people - I promise!  It was the first time I got to see the 8K winners cross the finish line - THEY PASSED ME!

Now - the Fools Five through Rach's pictures...

One of the craziest runners at the race...I can barely run independently - she runs with two kids and a stroller. AMAZING!

...and a Note from Rach.

Alright - last week I discussed that I was a list maker.  After the blog posted, my cousin sent me an amazing link / idea.  Instead of making a "To Do List" - maybe we should make a "To Done List".  

Why focus on the things that have not been completed and may not be completed...  Celebrate the things that did get completed by writing them on a "To Done List" and then placing the all important check next to it.

I am still smiling at this idea.  I LOVE IT!  I even used it with my students at school this week.  It truly has been a refreshing change.

Believe -
Rach
