Teresa and some friends decided to try skydiving. The weather was perfect and they all seemed to have had a great time. The grins, however, seem strangely affixed to their faces, either from having that much fun or from fear…
Hello family and friends,
On July 25th I am participating in The Humane Society’s Dog-A-Thon walk for homeless animals again. I will walk a full five miles in this activity. Last year I had so much fun and got to walk with one of the best dogs ever. Her name was Mazie. She was a miniature schnauzer. I didn’t adopt her, but she got adopted by another nice family. Also, last year, thanks to your support I raised over $500!! That made me feel really proud. So this year I am asking for your support again, and every donation from $5-50 is great. I believe that every dog and every other animal deserves a nice and loving home! 
I am also hoping to again walk a shelter dog, if I raise enough money. If you are not able to give a donation that is also fine, but think about all of the dogs that have to sleep on hard wood, sometimes for over a month! I don’t want there to be many of those dogs.
You may donate by cash, sending me a check made out to The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, or go to http://www.firstgiving.com/sas_steff and donate there.
You can donate online with a credit card. All donations are secure and sent directly to The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County by Firstgiving, who will email you a printable record of your donation.
Thank you so much,
Samantha (aka, Still the #1 animal lover)
David & Peter at Suncadia, golfing the private Tumblecreek Course. At least they had a good time…
Dear Family and Friends,
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a problem affecting 20 million Americans – that’s one in every nine adults. Major risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes and family history. Most people who have kidney disease don’t even know it.
The good news is, if CKD is diagnosed early, its progression can be stopped, and in some cases, kidney failure can be prevented altogether. Awareness is the key.
Please help me raise awareness about CKD. I am participating in a fundraising event sponsored by DaVita called the Tour DaVita. The event draws people together for a healthy activity for a worthy cause. It’s an event you can feel good about being a part of.
You can help raise awareness about Chronic Kidney Disease by sponsoring me. Please make a donation today! Visit my fundraising page at https://www.tourdavita.org/donate/Kate_Kasprzyk_1391/index.html.
Sincerely,
Kate Kasprzyk
