Hey, Jude (Trike-A-Thon pledges) - SpinCycle

This is one of the first songs I can really remember taping (yes, one of those big boxy recorders) - I was watching some American Bandstand show when I was about 10 years old and worked thru all the parts of taping the song, playing it back about a million times, etc.

Now, in the grown-up world, St. Jude does amazing things for children and their families who are fighting to SURVIVE and thrive thru their battles with deadly illnesses. The St. Jude Trike-A-Thon is a week-long program addressing safety and cancer - on March 27th, the kids will ride for 30 minutes and collect donations for this worthy cause (typically 25 laps, or a specific amount for the event). The boys' preschool is partcipating for the third year - they have a pretty modest goal of $1500 this year, with 54 students participating....if you would like to participate and help us bust that goal, please email me or leave your request in the comments section - TIA for any and all support!

This is the cute t-shirt they may get!
I donated platelets for the first time today, so it's sort of been an all-around cancer day. Apparently, I have 'great platelets' all curly and lots of 'em! :blush:
Jen at Sprite's Keeper assigned Survival for this week's Spin Cycle...and the timing is perfect for helping others survive! Do whatever you can, and if it means donating J&H's trike-a-thon, all the better - please contact me by 3/25 so I can take care of all the paperwork stuff, and TIA!
