This weekend, I'll be doing Race for the Cure with my mom, a survivor of 12 years. This will be our 4th year, and we'll be joined by my Aunt Bobette and cousin Suzy. (It's also the ONE day a year I wear pink.)
I'm so proud of my mom and grateful for the doctors and medicine and technology that were around then so I can have her here now. This research is SO important.
Here's to many more years of racing and many more memories together!
On February 1, 2011, I trekked to Smokey Row in my Nanook of the North hat to get coffee and cheeseburger chowder. Blizzards are kind of fun when you don't have to drive in them.
I’m a young public relations professional. Graduated from Drake University in 2009 with a BAJ in Public Relations, a marketing minor and a business studies concentration. My new job is with a nonprofit in Ames, Iowa called IRIS – Iowa Resource for International Service. I have a great interest in social media, and I just love to learn. I have OCD tendencies: my closet is color-coded, and there’s a level on the mirror in my living room. I am way more of a nerd than I let on: I love alphabetizing, and I read every issue of National Geographic when I was a kid. My career goal is to do PR for a environmental, scientific or historical organization/nonprofit.
