okay, firstly, forget everything i said. we are in a race for the race - dollars baby, cold hard cash! oh, if only i were this ruthless in the business world! i have been amazed to see $13,000 come my way in the form of donations to susan g. komen for the cure! and, not only that ... i am part of team jane's journey, which in total has raised over $20,000 to date! not to be overly competitive, but i do happen to be the sixth most successful fundraiser for this event in the new york metro area! i'm on the heels of american express and ann taylor - watch out! by the way, just to make it real - jared reminds me that being sixth is like winning a double bronze (deflation!).
last night, jane and i are invited to a VIP reception at the time warner center at columbus circle. the event is the kick-off for the race for the cure on sunday, and is the start of city in pink (major new york landmarks illuminated in rose colored lights to commemorate awareness about breast cancer). the festivities are held at the samsung space - gorgeous! the room is lit in a star trek fashion, all glowing pink! man, there are a lot of ladies there! skyy vodka, wine flowing, many, many people - all there to pay tribute to those afflicted with breast cancer. the evening is a wonderful success, spirits are high as, despite the bad economy, there are record numbers of people participating on sunday (estimates are 26,000 to 28,000 walkers and runners!). our own team is comprised of 50 people, and based on the tally, you'd never know that there are economic woes! unbelievably, i alone have received gifts from 105 families and friends! bravo!
after cocktails, jane and i are starving, so in my three piece (new) suit [yes, H&M of course)] and her pink dress (tracey feith) we hop over to burger joint at the parker meridien - double patties and an order of fries - deadly, let's hope the clogged arteries don't prevent us from doing our lap in central park!!!
thankful for everyone's support and participation, truly a momentous occasion for us ... we have good reason to celebrate!
(hard to believe it's been seven years since september 11th - so disheartening)
