We've never had lightening before- and golfers aren't allowed to play in the lightening. So at the club's suggestion, we rescheduled for the end of October. I've been dreading this outing- I'm not sure why... I just haven't looked forward to it... but last night we decided 100% that we're starting a foundation in memory of my mom- and part of the money today was going to help us start the foundation. So, suddenly I cared about the event and the disappointment is harder than I thought!
But let me talk about the Foundation I'm so super excited about! While our mission isn't 100% set, basically we're going to help woman with ovarian cancer. We'd like to extend beyond just help for medical expenses... I envision helping women pay for a nice wig- or skin treatments after chemo. Or paying gas bills to and from treatments- or covering day care bills for a single mom while she's undergoing treatment. I know there are ways for patients to get medical expenses covered, but there are very few organizations that exist to give grants for lifestyle expenses for cancer patients- especially specifically ovarian cancer! So, we're super excited! Plus, my sisters never really got involved with N.O.C.C. so it will be so nice to do something together! It's going to be a lot of work (don't believe me?), but so so worth it!
So, anyway.. I'm disappointed because I was ready to make some $$ for N.O.C.C. and also money for our foundation! But we'll just make sure it's a GORGEOUS fall day on 10/27 and make a LOT more money than we would have today!
YAY!
