Advocacy makes change

“Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has” -Margaret Meade


I live by this as each day I show up to work and try to fight against the tobacco rates in Utah. I love advocacy and it is very much apart of me. Currently I am working for the MS society as a volunteer. This is my 5th year and I am gearing up for the MS 150 Bike Tour. Although I give freely of my time this is the first year I am trying to raise money to help. I have donated and want to see if you yourself would be interested in donating. Even small amounts help. "Never doubt that a small amount of money can change the world, because it will!" -Dre.

I am raising money through my friend Joshua Cloward because I myself cannot ride due to my awesome volunteering skills. I will however slave in the heat/cold/dirt/water to feed and take care of 2,000 riders!

Who is Josh?

Good question. He's an amazing friend that has taught me a lot this last year. We play soccer together, gave snowboard lessons to inner-city kids together, and now raising money for MS together.

This is a pic of us snowboarding. Great times, long talks up the slow lifts. Josh is also a very talented cyclist so another reason I support him doing this charitible ride.


Why MS?
Well because MS isn't genetic, it is almost a mystery disease. It also effects everyone differently. For my good friend Tiffany it took site from her left eye. From my neighborhood it took Brother Boons ablity to walk. What we do know is that MS is the scare tissue on the myelin sheets protecting your nerves. When those sheets are destroy your nerves lose information like sight, thought or walking. For more information go to http://www.nationalmssociety.org/

think it over, and really $5 dollars would rock my socks. I thank you so much for reading this and please let me know if you have any questions!

I am one with Shae

I know you are all wanting to know, does dre have the new uplifter album? YES I do and it rocks pretty hard!! I love it all. Be warn it's weird but it still kicks mainstreams Aaaaaa!

However I need to show off a little bit of excitment. I was given a gift recently that took my breathe away. I am a proud new mamma to a piece of Shea Stadium. For those who do not know, that is the home of the New York Mets? What you've only heard of the Yankees? Well then you really don't follow baseball then. I became a fan 2006 when I went to visit my sister in Queens. We went to one game and it became apart of me. I never thought I would love it as much as I do. I followed my Mets for the rest of the year as they took the National League East championships and falling out of reach of the world series by those bloody Cardinals. I continued my love as I watched them the next year for the Colossal Collapse in the post season. I still love my Mets!

For my 27th Birthday all I wanted to do was see my Mets at Shea Stadium before it's demise. Lucky I had a great friend in NY to visit and great friend to go with. This was the best birthday ever. I spent a lot of money on the seats but the memories are still there. Sorry I don't have a pic of me and Mr. Met (I chickened out because I was by myself and would have to have some stranger take the picture). I made stranger friends forever, and still stay in contact with them. I watched them lose and win against the rival Phillies. Even though I'm this dorky utah girl Shea will be apart of me.

Well now to the good stuff. I was given a seat back this weekend, mounted in a glass frame. It is pretty much Amazing! Here are the pics:

It is seat 2 so i checked all my ticket stubs and I sat in seat 4 and 5 but not 2. Arg so close.

Well I hope you are excited. There is another story that goes with the chair but that won't be blogged.

I love the Mets!
