Believe,Hope,Live Author event 4 cancer
This August I am taking a trip to Augusta Maine to be a part of a spectacular event called Believe, Hope, Live
This event will be full of authors selling books, signing autographs and meeting fans. BUT that is not the greatest thing about this event. The greatest part is a large portion of all proceeds (booth costs, ticket fees and more) will go to help in aiding the research for breast cancer. I am very honored and privileged to get to be apart of this. The second day of the event, the authors will get to have an exclusive signing for cancer patients as well as cancer survivors. My life has been touched, as well as several others I know, by cancer. Not even a year ago I lost my grandfather to leukemia and my grandmother a few years before that to pancreatic cancer. The affects were were devastating. So benefits like this are close to my heart.
Due to the outrageous costs of propane this winter, my family and I were forced to use an enormous chunk of money that I had been saving for the passed several months. I have numerous jobs to which I save money from. I make cakes, I free lance write and make crafts for local Artisan shops. I will be continuing to do everything I can in order to raise money. Setting up this fundraiser does nothing to change that.
EVER PENNY RAISED THROUGH HERE, will go toward the purchase of books to take to the event.... It DOES NOT AND WILL NOT go toward traveling expenses such as food, gas, lodging or ANYTHING ELSE.... I have been blessed to get that covered!!!!
This event means a lot to me, but not because of my writing career, but because I am sick of losing the people I care about to cancer!
