I will donate to Team in Training through the Leukemia & Lymphomia Society as soon as the new season starts in a few week. And I think I might have to buy myself a skirt, too!

hehe. i don’t know? I know Nancy made like four donations…ah, now that I
think about it, I think we said 100 bloggers – not 100 donations didn’t
we?

Maybe the world just isn’t ready to see me in a pinks skirt?

:)

Ummm actually I thought it was mentioned that one could donate on behalf of family/friends of bloggers. So for example if Nancy has donated 4 times, that should count as 4 since she has 3 other family members.

PS – My donation was actually to Bolder’s Livestrong Challenge. I am still planning also to donate to Breast Cancer, but I though each donation we made counted.

Hi Mark,

Can you please add me to the list. I will donate my money to Susan G. Komen.

I also purchased the skirt & bra from Cindy & Christy. Let me tell you that they’re both very comfortable & cute. I didn’t get the pink-pink, I got the burgundy-pink, but I’m sure the pink-pink will look good on you. Can’t wait to see you run in them.

And just a little more plug for Cindy & Christy, not only they sell a cute, comfortable items, but they also have a very good customer service. Nice doing business with you girls!
