Asking for a few favors…

I know I’ve been asking a lot of my friends lately. Vote for me in this contest, tweet my hashtag for this, friend this company on Facebook, donate to my breast cancer walk etc. I’m a pest.

BUT… I was recently contacted about a sponsorship opportunity from All Plus Sized Bras who are looking to give $250 to one person who is participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure this year. I entered a short little essay about why I am participating and why I would be a good candidate for the sponsorship, and was selected as one of ten finalists. You have the entire month of September to vote for me and it truly takes less than a minute to do. Easy Peasy. Pinkie swear.

Also, they posted the address to send mail to Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day walkers at camp today. After walking 20 miles on Day 1, you have no idea how amazing it is to return to camp to a handful of letters from your friends and family. You are tired. Broken. Emotional. Your feet might be full of blisters. You’re sore. But opening a letter in which someone says they are proud of you, thinking of you, and routing for you? That is what gives you the motivation to keep going… to walk a second and third day. I still have all of the letters I received during my first event. I read them sometimes when I am feeling down, or am extra worried about making my fundraising and training goals.

I won’t beg (too much), but here’s the address for this year. I would appreciate a little snail mail love (and some for Nikki too!) if you have a little bit of free time to throw something together:

Laurie Brosius and Nicole Gresham
3-Day for the Cure Post Office
P.O. Box 6244
McKinney, TX 75071-6244

They have to be postmarked by October 25, and I will send a few more reminders with my monthly updates. Thanks so much for all of the support and donations.
