I could not have done ANY of this without the two men that propped me up when I needed it; emotionally, mentally, spirtually and any way I might have needed it. Good buddy Earl Kirk and Adam Van Bavel of Komen Maryland.  Guys..none of this would have been possible without you.

Thanks to our small but mighty team of folks behind the scenes. Those that helped with accounting, creating of the logo and print work.  Joan Payne of Berman, Goldman & Ribakow, LLP  and Alex Kutsishin of MOS Creative and his AMAZINGLY creative team..what a nifty logo..thanks!

 Big giant thank you to The Breast Cancer 3-Day Spokesperson Jenne Fromm and DC Field Coordinator Shawn Supers. I know many of you  had the opportunity to meet them and discover what I knew; how  marvelously generous these women are. If you wish to participate in the 3-Day just contact me and I'll tell you how to get started. If you don't want to walk 60 miles in three days, then feel free to donate:  http://08.the3day.org/goto/moformom

And most of all, I thank my wonderful Family..My Men.  My Dad; Jesse Simpkins, Brothers Jesse (Jay) and Matt and my Seeeeeeeester-in-law Lisa.  You are my backbone, my heart, my soul, my spirit, my life.  Your love went into to the creation of this event as we honored Mom....she would have LOVED it and all you amazing people!
