Romp to Stomp

Join me in helping to stomp out breast cancer one snowshoe step at a time!

ONE in EIGHT women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. To help combat this overwhelming statistic, I’ve decided to strap on a pair of snowshoes and participate in the annual Tubbs Romp to Stomp out Breast Cancer Snowshoe Series®.

The Romp to Stomp is a snowshoe walk or race that benefits the local Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. The local Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure supports community-based breast health education, screening and treatment programs focusing on underserved and uninsured women. 75% of the net funds raised at the Romp to Stomp will benefit local communities and the remaining 25% net funds will go to support national research to help find a cure.

Please consider making a donation and/or joining my team to support the fight against breast cancer and my commitment to the cause.  The walk is at the Frisco Nordic Center on March 2.

Part of my contribution to the cause is a handknitted pink hat.  You can get a hat one of two ways:  join Team PEO and walk with us or donate $100 to the team.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

 Some remarks by State Secretary, Dottie Ruth
  • She shared Psalm 84:10—A single day in your temple is better than a thousand elsewhere.
    • Does this apply to PEO?  
    •  She says yes, and that we should think about the joy that PEO brings—a commitment, and a renewed belief in what we do.
    • Be excited about PEO and what we do.
  • We should improve our participation, but we can also understand different modes of participation. A “due share of our interest and energy” can be shared in many different ways and at many different times.
    •  Share your talents with your other sisters.
    • Thank you for our support for all projects—contributions to all of them are essential.
  • Closing thought comes from Cottey: We share a vision of loving concern for one another.  We share a desire for educational opportunities for women across the globe.  Consider the lives that are being transformed. Dream of the possibilities of our students, and then take note of the part each of us plays in this dream.
