My Friend Misty

Meet my friend Misty. She the one in the dark pink. Why is she wearing pink you ask? Well, she has breast cancer. She is so young you say. Yes she is. She is only 27. She is a wife, she has a 18 month old daughter, she has had radiation, and is on her second round of chemo. Wow, that is a lot to take in.

She is also a co-worker.

The lady next to her is Elisha Preston. She is another co-worker/boss, and the one who organized our golf tournament. Her husband Andy (the man in the white shirt) helped to organize also. He has played in lots of charity golf tourneys. So he knows what should happen. He advised us on things from, welcome bags, to door prizes, and just helping all of us limp through.

A lot of work for novice golf tournament organizers. Guess what, we pulled it off. We kept calling each other on Friday to make sure everything was taken care of. As Friday started to draw to a close we realized that it is really going to come together. We might just pull this thing off. Early Saturday May 22, 2010 a group of co-workers, friends, and family got together to raise money for Misty.

Let the sign up begin........

Altogether we had 13 teams sign up...

These guys where sponsored by the company that my husband works for..PDQ Mobile X-Ray.

The guys where great. They came up with the idea for the bright pink shirts themselves. With a little help from some of the wives.

People could sign up to sponsor a team or they could be a hole sponsor. We had several guys sign up and form there own teams. We also had a couple of women sign up to play. My sweet father-in-law and mother-in-law volunteered to be a hole sponsor. Of course they let me pick the hole. Of course, I choose to put them on hole #1!!

Here is Misty and her sweet baby girl Baylee. Isn't she a cutie pie.

She is so cute. Her little shirt said,"help save my ta ta's." To to cute.

Even some of our Doctors came out to play. Bless there hearts, one of the golf carts broke down. One of them and his son had to walk back to the club house. Hauling those heavy golf bags.

Thanks guys for coming out and supporting Misty.

We cooked hamburgers for the players and workers. That sweet man in the pink shirt is my husband Les. He was so kind to help with this. He cooked over 60 hamburger patties. They where GOOOOOD. He didn't even mind all the smoke he inhaled during the cooking process.

Thanks honey, I really appreciate it.

Over all the day was a great success. Everyone worked hard. They pulled together for a friend and a wonderful cause.

It is amazing how people will come out to support and help someone who they do not even know. I stand amazed at the kindness.

We don't have a grand total yet. We are hoping to raise between 4,500 and 5,000 dollars.

We all had a blast. I am so excited to be able to share this with all of my family and friends.
