On the way home I picked up training wheels and a helmet. My sister Tara picked up a tiny bike for Eva from a yard sale. Now, I know that Eva is much to little to be on a bike herself however she loves being pushed around the driveway.
She wasn’t too keen on her helmet at first but eventually she loved having it on.

Our Relay for Life Team went Gold this year, that means over $10,000 in total donations. That is a first for this team. I twas an amazing thing to achieve and we couldn’t have done it without all the great people who donated.
Donations that came in from readers and friends BenSpark.com totaled $375.00. That is pretty amazing seeing as I started asking for donations a mere 10 days ago. What did I do to ask for donations? Twitter and this blog brought in the donations. People heard the call for donations and responded by either promoting the cause on twitter, donating or leaving comments of support. We are truly blessed to have such great friends in those we have met and those we have not. Soon I’ll be posting some thank you reviews about each of my $25+ sponsors and everyone on the $10+ will get some #followfriday love on twitter for the rest of the month. Everyone reading this blog should check out the blogs or twitter streams of these wonderful folks. I took a bunch of photos today too so here are some plus my video that I promised to show you, including the gaggle of teenage girls who try to get into the shot, and succeed.

I need to thank some really great people for their generosity. I’m linking up to their twitter names as Twitter was the way I spread the word and how many people responded.
More donations can still be received, only $125 away from our $500 goal!!
