I mentioned that one of my hobbies was vintage soda machines but that must not have made it past the editors!

Good luck to your wife.  Hopefully, she can beat this by catching it early.  Also good luck to you on the walk.

I'll be waiting to see a picture of you with pink hair.

Thanks guys!

So far, the article has helped me to pick up about $1,000 in donations.  When the hair goes pink (which could be tomorrow the way things are going), I will post a picture!  I at least want to get to my goal of $15K but if I get there I will only be about $1,000 behind the leader for Michigan.  Not that its about winning but what the heck!

Chedki--funny you should mention a pink machine.  I was thinking about finding a plain-jane square-top and doing it up in a pink "Boobie Beverages" theme.  I plan to do the walk again next year and I thought I could do up a breast cancer awareness machine in pink and raffle it off to raise funds for my walk.  The idea is still in the drawing board phase!

Outstanding story. Please keep us updated on your fundraising progress and also the walk itself.

Also, great way to stand by your spouse through a monumental challenge! You are an inspiration!  biggrin
