This weekend, my Aunt Beth and my mom participated in the Dirty Girl Mud Run. The proceeds from the race go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I’m super proud of them for finding a way to have fun and serve others at the same time! This got me thinking: What have I done lately to serve my community? I can’t think of numerous times post-graduation where others have served me, but what have I done to serve others?
Post run: Mud is the new Pink
Too many of my friends change their Facebook to “support” a cause. Remember changing your profile picture to your favorite cartoon in “support” of child abuse awareness? What good did that REALLY do? I’m pretty sure the world already knew about the existence of Child Abuse and its negative effects. And then there’s the cryptic status update every October that’s supposed to get the male population asking what it means so you can talk about Breast Cancer (Kathryn likes it on the counter. No, I wasn’t talking about sex; I was talking about where I put my purse. Segue into Breast Cancer). But do we ever really talk about Breast Cancer in a productive way?Maybe you don’t have the money to donate to a worthy cause, but I’m very certain that each and every one of us has talents. Challenge: Use your time and talents to actually make a difference in the world. Find something you care about and support it! Me? I’m signing up for the Dirty Girl – Chicago. Anyone want to join my team?
