Spring is in the air and hopefully the cold and ice are
behind us! I ran the Little Rock
half marathon last weekend and my toes did not stop tingling until mile 3! If I
weren’t running for the Children’s Tumor Foundation I assure I wouldn’t have
been up at 5 am getting ready to run in 27 degree weather!
Speaking of my favorite charity, as many of you know I run
on the NF Endurance Team. And now my husband, Larry, does, too! And since many
of you keep asking when I’m going to do another Groupon or Living Social deal
for Botox, I came up with an idea that benefits both! Let me tell you a little
about the charity first…. NF stands for neurofibromatosis. Although you may not
have heard of it, NF is a genetic disease that affects 1 in 3000 births. NF
causes tumors to grow on nerves through out the body….brain, spinal cord, face,
arms, legs, anywhere. There is no cure and some of these tumors can become
cancerous. These tumors are quite painful and the kids can have some
developmental delays as well. I have
church family whose daughter has NF. Our daughter’s best friend had an uncle
who died of NF and his daughter is almost deaf because of NF. These are REAL
people I know whose lives are affected. My job is to raise money and awareness
for the Children’s Tumor Foundation so that we can find a cure. Their research
benefits the entire community, not just NF folks.
So here’s the deal……Botox is normally $14/unit…..When you
make a $50 donation to the Children’s Tumor Foundation (by cash or check),.you
can buy up to 50 units of Botox at $12/unit. When you make a $100 donation to
Children’s Tumor Foundation (by cash or check), you can buy up to 50 units of
Botox for $10/unit. …..Now for the fine print…..this offer is only good until
Mother’s Day, May 12th. The donation, which is tax deductible, must be made by cash or check. I will send it
to CTF and you will get a receipt (and a huge thank you) from them for your tax
records. You may pay for the Botox itself by credit card if you choose. This
makes for great birthday and Mother’s Day gifts. We will even fill out a gift certificate for
you!
And finally, if you are a runner, or want to be, let me
know. If you don’t already run for a cause, you can join the NF Endurance Team!
We are planning to do Vegas in November! You don’t have to be fast, and you can
even walk if you want! Lord knows, I’m the slowest one on the team! If you’re
getting Lipo-Ex treatments, it’s a great way to accentuate the benefits of
those. Plus, our massage therapist, can help you work out any sore muscles.
Enjoy the blessings of Spring and Easter. Come get some
Botox! And as always, let us know what we can do for you!
