For Immediate Release

Karen's Kids Introduces New Identity!

After hours of dedicated work, I am very excited to announce Karen's Kids new brand identity! You'll see the differing variations on various promotional materials. Fred the Flamingo makes a huge appearance as the star of our logo! In addition to Fred the Flamingo a Palm Tree has been incorporated to give that subtle tropical feel to what our team is known for. Click on the picture to view the full resolution or click here.

Does your team incorporate any use of branding or identity?

I created a team logo and identity for my team Karen's Kids.

Take a look at what we will be using this year and years to come... I would appreciate your thoughts on creating your team a unique identity and how it'll be used.. thanks!

I should add that I'm a graphic designer at heart (thus the spawning reason as to why this all came about...)

I would like some new ideas for Kick-off!  Anybody got any?

Can anyone tell me what is inside a Mini Relay Kit?

I have been asked last week to be on our Relay Committee for Advocacy and Mission.  Apparently, they have not had a committee member in the past. It seems I need serious help.  I do not know what to do or where to begin.  What is the bare minimum that I can get accomplished in such a short time to be successful.  PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks,

Liz

The End

I remember waking up Thursday and for that split
second you remember it wasn't a nightmare. Don't you
hate that feeling? I decided if I sat around all day I
was just keep crying , so I when I met my family at
the funeral home you can just imagine the mood I was
in. My uncle was there( I will not comment on what I
felt about him at that moment) but he acted like it
was a freakin car deal or something trying to
negotiate the cost of the funeral. I was so Mad, I
said just shut up. I was never so grateful to get out
of somewhere before. On Friday I got up and realized
what am I going to do now, I can't sit around and cry
all day so I went to see Heather. Me and Heather were
always "grandma's girls". She raised us both and we
loved her like a mom. I felt like she was the only
person that understood me. Unfortunately with both of
us upset we did not know what to do, so hey I know

The Beginning of the End
Current mood: drained

I spent the weekend with my grandma, on June 3rd.
Saturday was pretty rough, she was not feeling well
and the hospice nurse said that her air flow was weak.
I somehow managed to get through the night and by
early morning she was smiling and ready to go outside.
I wheeled her to the rosebushes and the temperature
outside was just perfect, sunny and warm and she loved
it. I then pushed her to the back where the little
gardens were and we looked at what people were
growing. I somehow got off the walkway and got her
wheelchair lodged in a rut and when I got it out I
knocked the rubber off the wheel. At the time this
seemed very amusing to us, it was liking pushing
someone with a flat tire. We were grateful to make it
back to the front and by that time she was ready for
ice cream. We both knew her wheelchair would not fit
in the car so i said let's just leave it out front and

My wife has been battling inflammatory breast cancer for the past 12 years.  She had a mastectomy right after being diagnosed when she was 31.  After that she had a stem cell transplant.  The cancer came back 18 months later in some lymph nodes on the right side of her neck.  They took out 6 lymph nodes.  Again in eighteen months it returned in her left neck area, again in the lymph nodes.  About a year later it returned in her lymph nodes around her left shoulder blade.  The affected lymph nodes damaged the nerves in the breakal Plexus nerve center causing her left arm to be paralyzed.  We went for a while and it returned to the breast bone.  She had a ct scan and pet scan in October 2007 and it showed that all was fine.  This week January 11, 2008 she started throwing up and lost her appetite.  She then turned yellow even in her eyes, also her urine was the color of a dark cup of coffee.  I took her to the emergency room where they did a cat scan and the doctor told us that she had 4 spots on her liver.  She fought for 12 years to keep it out of her organs and now it has come back with a vengeance.  She is currently in the hospital and after a sonogram it was confirmed that 2 of the 4 tumors were 6.5 centimeters which is about the size of a baseball.

The Emptiness
Current mood: depressed

The emptiness is my life. I have had so many changes
in my life this last month that have made me a
different person. Not the person that most people
know and see, not happy, friendly or outgoing. None of
the above. On the inside I am hurting, depressed,
lonely and very sad. If you see me you may not even
realize that something is wrong, I can fake smile very
well, the actress in me I suppose. For the most part
this all started when my grandma became very sick. My
grandma is so special to me, more like a mother and of
course a close friend. She has been fighting lung
cancer since diagnosed in January 2006. I took her to
most of her chemo appts. and all her CT scans for the
last year. The chemo did not work so we stopped
treatments Feb. of this year. I got a call from my
mother 2 weeks ago that my grandma was being
transported to the ER, which was a red flag because
