The fundraiser will be here before we know it and I am so appreciative of all the support that has already been shown and all the individuals who have stepped up to help keep Joe's dream going.  Thank you!

The Hot Dog Stand was HOT!

Thank you to everyone who ordered hot dogs and brats, who spread the word, stopped in for lunch or a snack and to Midtown.  We sold over 1240 hot dogs and brats on Friday - AMAZING.  This helped us bring in around $3000.  It is amazing to see the support of the community.  Team Vogel is what is because of the community and everyone embracing Joe's legacy.

Rach's Thoughts for the Week...

As the Fundraiser gets closer - I want to reflect back on last year.  It was the worst summer of my life but yet the best too.  I was able to see an amazing man - find the strength to live each day to the fullest and give his all to others.  As I sometimes find myself overwhelmed - I can hear Joe saying, "It will all work out Rach.  It will all work out."  As I look through these pictures - I know it will all work out...Joe Vogel - you inspire me everyday to be a better person - thank you for that!

Enjoy the photos from the 2010 Team Vogel vs Cancer Fundraiser...

Living in the moment.

Heading to the race - Scary we let Roger drive :).

Watching some softball on Sunday.

His smile was infectious and everyone was smiling and will be this year too.

Love - Rach
