Let The FUNdraising Begin

Hey Everyone,

Its just a few hours until March 1st. Which means less than 60 days until our March For Babies walk. I was beyond thrilled when a friend of mine offered to help host an online scentsy party. Our even page is here. Please check us out and share with your friends. I'm not good with advertising but you don't want to miss this.

Love and Peace
Betty

2014 Shirt Ideas

Hi family and friends, 
This years National Family Team T-shirts colors are Charcoal, Purple and Sapphire. Sapphire is the same color we used in the 2012 walk at Great Adventure. The National Family t's are predesigned and rather inexpensivee. I included pics of the shirts from the March of Dimes Website. I am also going to look into custom shifts so we can personalize it more. If you know me you know I'll incorporate my own style to it. LOL Anyway here are the colors. I am taking a vote on what color you'd like. I personally like the sapphire because it's a loud color.

Here is a sample of the design I am working on. I really love the front of the above shirts and the back of the custom shirt.

I'll keep you posted on what we decide, most likely on out facebook page.

New Year: Fresh Start

Hello All-

It has been sometime since I last posted or updated on here. Last years walk we didn't do so well and with illness, car problems and some other issues we were unable to walk. This year is a different story, God willing. This year would have been Shealyn's fifth birthday. (I can't believe she would be five. God, how I miss year...or miss the idea of her being here.) Anyway, I have already started to develop our family team; Team Shealyn's Angels. I've sent a goal for $500. Here is the LINK to our team's March of Dimes Page. On it you can find the link to join our team if you wish or donate if you feel so inclined to do so.  I am planning on ordering t-shirts again and my husband and I are coming up with designs. I would like to sell them and have the proceeds go toward our team goal. I would also like to make themed rosaries (MoD and pregnancy & infancy loss) and have half the money go toward to that cost of making the rosaries and the other half go towards our goal as well. I will be updating our Facebook page Team Shealyn's Angel all the time and posting on here when the post is more in depth.

Above all this year, my main goal is to actually get my mom, siblings and my nephew together for the walk to celebrate Shealyn's short time in this earth. Aside from the addition of my nephew that last time ALL of us were together was at my wedding, almost 10 years ago. That would mean more to me that raising money. But the goal for March of Dimes and Walk for Babies is to raise money to eduafte families and help give babies a real fighting chance at survivign from being born to soon.

Hope to see you all at this years walk and together we can help reduce preterm birth.

XOXO and God Bless
Betty
Team Captain for Shealyn's Angels
