Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Kim, me, and my brother-in-law Bill

Some of you may know this, but my sister Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer, a few weeks ago. October is breast cancer awareness month. My wife and I flew to Pennsylvania to be with Kim for her surgery, and recovery. While there, her favorite spa/salon was doing a promotion for folks to "get pinked" and donate to the cure. The whole family has done it, and are walking around with pink streaks in our hair. We get lots of looks, and lots of questions, which in addition to the money raised, is the point.



We have also agreed to shave our heads when Kim gets chemotherapy. We hope to raise a few dollars by doing so, but the main point is to support her in a very tough time for a woman. I will post details here about the fund raiser if any of you would like to support that. You will actually be able to choose a head, and have it shaved in your name...or just make a donation.

Meanwhile in Naples, and Bay Colony, October is the tip of the iceberg for "season." I have seen car carriers, more traffic, and more people around in general. If this applies to you, welcome back, if you aren't here yet, the weather is getting into the perfect range, and local business are gearing up to see you. We have a few more Starbucks, some road work completed (and of course some started), and the sun is shining.
