Congrats on the successful Blackout event! You can see how much work this was but you have the best attitude about volunteering and giving back. Inspiring! Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome week!!
ReplyDeleteWow. What an amazing week of events. Is this a National campaign or just local? I've not heard of it before but it looks fantastic. We lost a niece at the age of 17 to cancer so this is something very close to my heart. Great job! I hope you get the nap(s) you deserve.
