Just watching daddy cut down a tree, on a Saturday morning, in their boxers...just too cute to not share.

~All for the Cure-We Healthy Hooters Are Racing Again to Help~

LOOK AROUND YOU. Every 74 seconds breast cancer claims the life of someone in the world! We need your help on our mission to save lives and end breast cancer so that not one more of our mothers, sisters, brothers, daughters or best friends has to die from this disease. We won't rest until breast cancer is a history lesson, not a current event. HELP US ON OUR MISSION.

For the past 11 years I have been rallying and racing and raising money for The Cure. I have participated in many different events and fundraisers in support of Susan G. Komen-for the Cure. This year I plan to Race for the Cure-on Mother's Day, with my mom, sister Debbie, and niece Emma.

I have painted on my "ta-ta's" and dyed my hair pink...I have raised and challenged others to raise awareness, bring education and help find the cure for this disease that effects so many of the women we love.

In 2012, I added one more to my list: my childhood friend's mom: Linda Mortenson.  She has one more chemo treatment left!  She has fought hard and has been at work through all of this.  Her daughter Brooke (Amiot) is one of the funniest girls I know.  And who would have thought after all these years our  boys would carry on the Harmening-Amiot legend and be best of friends!?

So in honor of many who have fought and survived and for those I will never forget...
Aunt Kathy Braulick-fought and came back a "new" woman!
Janet Olson-Mother-in-law

Aunt Jeanne (godmother)

Diane Olek-one of my favorite people and a woman I can tell anything to-she is a fantastic listener and will always give a level headed response

Jeanne Corrin-golfing buddy & great friend who will always be there for me
Barb Nass-another golfing buddy who loves to laugh

Margo Hell-who left us far too soon
Donna Barg-one fantastic woman with one of the best laughs...it's contagious and unforgettable

Maxine Werner-25 year survivor who will always support me

Marlene Schol-best (Oz) costume maker I know!
Julie Jaksa-the best bargain hunter ever and most willing to help others
Terri Nagurski-one of the best photographers and funniest "moms" I know
Wendy Mayer-one of the Young and the Breastless that "owns" it
Stacy Litwiller-helped my son with his speech issues and I was in awe of her beauty before and after.

In Memory of Janet Wagner-who was taken far, far too early from this world because of this disease. She was a strong woman who fought with grace and compassion.
Carol Hauge-a devoted mother and wife and is always looking out for others
Gina Rasmussen-a woman who we will forever be linked with because of "Papa Norm" and we love it!
Lisa Bahr-fought and won with grace, strength and beauty
Arlene Julien-another early survivor who continues to amaze me daily

Kathleen Riley-my sister Tammy's mother-in-law
Ellen Breneman- fought it with a smile on her face

Last but never the least...one of my best friends and the craziest woman I have ever had the pleasure of staying up all night and dancing with-Becky Glatz
and many, many more...

32 years ago my beautiful mother delivered her 4th child.  A Girl!  She named her Rebecca Lynn.  Thank you mom for giving me life, for raising me into the woman I am today, for guiding me, for encouraging me, for helping me become a better mom myself and for being my best friend.
I love you!

Go Blue Pics and Results

Here is the link for the pictures of Go Blue Friday and the Results.  Thanks again to all who donated!!

Thank you to everyone who contributed money to this worthy cause!

Each of you who donated helped light up awareness for autism.

We raised a whopping $478 in just two days!  You should be very proud of yourselves.  Here are the standings of how the donations break down.

Brian Mathews $7

Dr. Stone $97
Dr. Heuer $58
Laurie Whitfied-Trautlein $126
Margaret Hyatt $121, but Becky tossed in another 5 to force it to a tie J

Robyn Pelowski $19

And in honor of her grandson Garret, who has Aspergers, a family member of mine donated $50 to United for Autism…

Dr. Stone was stalling this morning at the Clinic (ahem…with a patient) so we were able to coerce Dr. Heuer to get his hair dyed first.  They tie at the hospital was just too perfect, for the two women that raised the most money.  We couldn’t possibly let just one have all the glory.

Thank you to all of our volunteers.  Your willingness to put yourself out there for one day to raise awareness for autism is truly inspiring!  THANK YOU for being such good sports!

I had wanted to raise awareness in honor of Gwen and Griffin Sirotiak.  Lisa Sirotiak, a former RN here at RLMC, moved her twins to the metro area to help them with their struggles with autism and help them thrive in what they excel at.  Lisa is one of my best friends and she is one heck of a woman...she doesn't feel strong, but daily somebody tells her she is and that she is a great mom...which she is. She is so very brave for taking this leap with her kids and putting them first. It's hard on everybody around her. She left her family, friends, house, job, and put her kids and their health at the top of her list. She is organized, emotional, tenderhearted, strong willed and AMAZING!

Thank you again for helping a great cause!
