It’s that glorious time of year when the lucky get to flee the enduring Midwestern winter and get away during the spring holiday break. There are many reasons  keeping you from going...maybe you can’t afford to miss work, or didn't get that tax return cash yet,  or maybe you just could not go...so you process through the 5 stages of denial that you are not going anywhere.

It was a fun and creative way to raise funds and awareness to about a terrible disease. I loved how people participated, everyone loves a challenge. But I did not. It was not due to being asked, as I was "nominated" many times.  I did not tell anyone at the time that I was going to give money to my charity of choice. It was not ALS.
