Wordless Wednesday: Star Wars Half Dark Side

Bounty Hunter's Blend: A Dark Side Roast

It's St. Jude Heroes fundraiser time again.  This could quite possibly be one of my favorites.  I hit up my friend Chris at On a Roll Design for her creative genius and I am so excited by what she came up with  for me. 

I had the idea to attempt a T-shirt fundraiser through Booster and Custom Ink.  When I decided to move forward there was only one person I would trust to come up with the image for me and that was Chris. 

My request was as convoluted as it was simple.  Combining some of my loves into one image that I hoped other people would love as well.  She managed to combine Star Wars, my family's love of a certain Mandalorian bounty hunter and coffee and as always hit it out of the park for me. 

Introducing the design for my first ever t-shirt fundraiser.  It is active as of today and will close in four weeks on March 26th, with an estimated product delivery to you on April 11th.  Which would be plenty of time for any of my Dark Side Challengers to receive in time for race weekend. 

I currently have two options up and running the first is for an awesome charcoal grey Hanes tagless T.  It's so comfy and the design really pops against the grey.  Information and ordering options can be found here

I also have set up a Ladies Hanes X-Temp Tank in black.  This would be perfect for race weekend, for working out, or anytime you feel like showing off your caffeinated Dark Side.  Currently, the option to purchase is here, but will be combined to the above link within the next day or so.

All proceeds will go my St. Jude Heroes fundraiser for the year.  As always thank you for your support and thank you for helping provide the families of St. Jude the best gift to fight the Dark Side of Childhood Cancer.  Hope. 

Pop for St. Jude Heroes

So it's been awhile since I have done an actual giveaway for my St. Jude Heroes fundraiser.

I've sat on this one for awhile because I've fighting my inner fangirl over keeping this one to myself.

Back in October when we went to Wizard World in Tulsa we did the Sebastian Stan meet & greet and photo opp. I bought the POP Civil War Winter Soldier with the intention of using it for a fundraiser.  

Little known fact even though I am thoroughly and unapologetically #TeamIronman I do love me some Bucky.

Anyway, I digress...here are the details for every 5.00 donation to my fundraiser between today and January 2, 2017 you will get one entry towards bringing this signed POP figure to your collection.

As you know this is my fourth  #stjudeheroes race for the children and families of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  Did you know that not only do families not have a bill while they are there, but that St. Jude also covers food, lodging and travel costs? So truly there is nothing the family needs to worry about outside of caring for their child. 

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are able to do such amazing things with your help.  Every donation goes to help them provide research, quality care and hope. 

Won't you consider donating?

Taking On the Dark Side

I did it again.  I signed up for another race as a St. Jude Hero.  Every year I say I'm not going to sign up.  Every year I do.

This time I am taking on The Dark Side Challenge and like the Infinity Gauntlet Challenge this is right up my my nerdy alley. I tend to favor the bad guys.  So how fitting is it for me to combine both my love of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital while getting to be bad at the same time.

So why do I run for St. Jude?

Why do I continually  force myself out of my comfort zone?  Especially when I can just pay the runDisney race fees and call it good?  

Because I can help, even if my efforts are a just a tiny drop in the bucket, I know I've helped.  

The awkward uncomfortable stretching of myself that happens every when year I ask people to donate  is nothing compared  to what the children and the families of St. Jude face daily, even hourly. I can make myself uncomfortable  for however long it takes to make a difference for the families of St. Jude.

I run for St. Jude because I believe that they are fighting for cures.  They are fighting the ultimate dark side, childhood cancer.

I run for St. Jude because no family should ever have to worry about the cost of care for their child. No one should worry about bills or insurance. They just need to focus on their child.  

St. Jude provides Hope.  Hope for a cure. Who doesn't want to help provide hope?

I am asking you to consider donating to my St. Jude fundraiser this year.  Together let's help St. Jude defeat the Dark Side.

Thank you.
