Bank Day!

I thought today was the final day to turn in any additional money collected, however, I have until Saturday (the day of the Santa Barbara North Heart Walk).  I'm looking forward to seeing people from cardiac rehabilitation on Saturday (nurses and patients). In the mean time, I am trying to finalize what I will say on Saturday.
I was asked to speak about my heart attack experience; I'm getting very nervous.  I screeched by with a C grade in Public Speaking/Speech in college ;o  The instructor jokingly told me to dance at the end of one speech as I had talked too fast (I missed my target time by 1.5 minutes)!  Hope my talking isn't faster than my walking this weekend!
Thank you again for all of your support!!!
