Help a sister out.


floppy vickie

My baby sis­ter was a floppy lil one.

15 years later, she can hold her­self up…and then some.

Hey friends, my sis­ter Vickie is par­tic­i­pat­ing in a 5k walk on Oct 6 for the Amer­i­can Heart Asso­ci­a­tion. I’ve never done one of these, because I’m hor­ri­fied of ask­ing for things (i.e. money) and even more, I’m pet­ri­fied that I’d only man­age to scrape together like, $20. Luck­ily for the sick and needy, my sis­ter is a bet­ter woman than I, and she’s got $125 left to reach her goal of $700. $700!! Hm, maybe I should ask her to raise some money for me…

I love this pic­ture, taken in Solvang, with a crash test dummy by my side.

Any­way, she only has 11 days left. I’ve already given what a can, so I’m reach­ing out to see if you can help! Click on this link, below, and fol­low the direc­tions pro­vided. For­tu­nately (or not), they’ve made giv­ing money away so easy now.

She told me she’s raised the most out of any­one in her com­pany, but I think she’s just got the most friends on Face­book :)

On a sim­i­larly mor­tal note, the Diplo­Man saw an inter­est­ing stat last night. Can you guess what the num­ber one cause of unnat­ural death in the U.S. is?

Car Acci­dents?
Homi­cide?
Falling off ladders?
Slip­ping on bath­room floors?
I would have guessed the first.…but it’s actu­ally sui­cide. Pretty crazy, right?

About Jessie

Thanks for stopping by. This blog was borne in late 2010 as a way to document the sights, eats, and experiences in Guangzhou, China. After two years, six countries, numerous meals, and countless encounters with locals later, I'm back temporarily in Washington, DC (and I love it). I'll be jetting off again to Africa in 2013, so keep on coming back for some good reads!
