Come cheer us on!!!

So it's 2:25 am and the 3-day is finally here....or in about 4.5 hours it will be.  I have to be up at 4 am so I figure sleep is pretty much a lost cause for the night.  Smart, I know (but it was worth it)!  Some of you have asked for details about the 3-Day so here it is. I would be so excited to see friends along the route cheering us on! Please come!  I will have my cell phone on me so give me a call or send me a text (even better) if you end up heading down.

I started a Twitter account as a last attempt at getting to my goal of $15,000.  You can donate all throughout the walk if you feel inclined.  I will be posting pictures and observations along the way!  I've never done this before (I know I'm behind the times) so please hang in there with me while I figure it out.  My twitter name is "sefrakes."


www.the3day.org/goto/sarahfrakes <----CLICK TO DONATE!!!!  I need about $800 more to reach my goal of $15,000! Please help me get there before the walk is over on Sunday!

It's a very short post tonight because I've still got a thousand things to do.  But, I leave you with my one of my favorite commercials of all time that very much paints the picture of how I am feeling right now.
