Don't Set Yourself Up For A Case Of FOMO

This post is potentially the most important one you will ever read on my blog.  Why?  Because if you dont mark these dates on your calendars/get your tickets/gather your friends, you will spend the first two weeks of April looking at Facebook and thinking:

Oh my gosh I am missing so much amazing fun that also supports a crazy good cause. 

Why didnt I listen to Kaity back on March 14?????

Seriously.  I promise.

There are some really fantastic ways to support the Challenge coming up in its last month.  So here you go:

April 2 - Help us Strike Out Cancer with a bowling night at AMF Sunset Lanes.

16 teams of 5 will gather for a non-competitive bowling tournament to support VCU Massey Cancer Center and my goal of raising $25,151.  The entry fee is $50 per person and gets you unlimited bowling for 2 hours, shoe and ball rental, and - wait for it - the chance to win $1,000!

Yes - you read that right.  One lucky participant will be selected at random to win $1,000.

Email me as soon as possible to get your team on the roster.  Spaces are limited and already filling up.

April 3 - Date Night at Arcadia

Yummy and for a good cause?  Join us at Arcadia for fabulous food and company - and for a meal that benefits a great cause.  Nom.

(Why did I write "nom".  I hate the "nom" phenomenon.  Hard.)

April 9 - The Flying Squirrels Fight Cancer!

Even Nutzy is on the cancer-fighting bandwagon!  Join us at the April 9 Flying Squirrels game as we fight cancer and kick spring off right!  Tickets must be purchased in advance and sales end when March ends.  So head here to snag yours.

April 13 - The Massey Mile

You all know by now that April 13, 2013 is the Ukrops Monument Avenue 10k.  And if you arent running or walking - or if you run or walk fast enough to finish up before noon - come join us at the Massey Mile!

The Massey Mile will be located between mile markers 3 and 4 of the 10k course.  Come join some amazing spirit groups, bands, DJs, and cancer haters as we celebrate the amazing work being done by VCU Massey Cancer Center!  We'll have loads of noisemakers and other fun swag for you so get there early and spend the morning with us!

April 13, pt. 2 - Post 10k Party to Benefit VCU Massey!

Here is my suggested schedule for your 10k day:

8-10 - Run or walk the race!
10-12 - Head out to the Massey Mile to celebrate the folks who have fought, and who continue to fight, cancer!
12-3 - Brunch, shower, quick nap
3-9 - Join us at:

Center of the Universe Brewery for beer ($1 each goes to VCU Massey!), local music, and Richmond's greatest food carts.  How else would you choose to unwind after the 10k?  No entry fee - and it wont be as hard to get in as it will be in some of the Fan bars. 

Thanks to

For their help in putting this together.
