OKAYOKAYOKAY
So my dad needs a heart transplant.....
I know....it's horrible.
If he doesn't get one, he is going to die.
...
Yeah, let that sink in.
So the hospitals won't put him on the heart transplant list until we've raised a certain amount of money. Even with our insurance, it's still WAYYYYYYY over our budget. D:
My friend heard about this and she devised a plan to have our soccer team hold a bake sale.
Since our last name is Newhart, we called our efforts 'A new <3 for Newhart'
Yup. Pretty ironic.
So most everyone cooked a lot of food and we got to the soccer field last saturday and sold sold sold sold sold played in our soccer game sold sold sold waved signs around sold sold sold some more sold and sold.
We raised over a thousand dollars, were in the newspaper, and were on TV.
Plus We've been undefeated this season. ;)
(Forget the fact that we're a recreational team and the other teams may be pretty young......)
It was very tiering....and hot. We went out to the road and waved some signs around, and they were laying out a new road at the moment. Every time the steamroller-thing would drive by, the whole ground would start vibrating and steam would dance across the road. Sufficient to say, it was pretty darn epic. The edges of the road hadn't completely dried, and it was pretty weird.
The whole event was pretty amazing, other than the heat.
The I went and got pizza, took a shower, then had my first babysitting job.
This is the newspaper article:
And this is the news clipping:
EDIT: Uhhh.....My links don't work. Oh well.
