A few things ***Important news here***

Ok so there are a few things I want to discuss here today.

One is a recent article a friend sent me about a transman in NYC who is a teacher. It was a great article. In it he mentioned that his foot size went up. I thought.. hmm I hope my feet don’t get any bigger. I mean I wear a size 9-10 in men’s shoes already, depending on the type of shoe.

With that in mind I went to put on my cowboy boots which have not been worn in a while. And they do not fit.. I mean when I finally did get them on it was hell to get them off and my foot felt like it was being squeezed to death. They were not ever that tight before, so I guess my foot size went up.

Second, I have been trying to think of ways to raise money for my top surgery. Well I have not figured that out yet, plus I have a hard time asking people to fund something that is so personal to me as my top surgery.

However I am not above asking for money for a good cause. I am not sure how far back in my blog some of you have read. However, one of my first posts on here was about going to an St. Baldrick’s event. Go here to see what they are about..www.stbaldricks.org

They are an organization who raises money to help find cures for children’s cancer. When I found it last year I signed up right away and got my head shaved. I had raise about $75 that year.

This year I decided I was going to host an event closer to home. So on April 27th 2013 I am going to be hosting our own St. Baldrick’s event where I will again be shaving my head. So will J, who has long beautiful hair, and because she is doing it so will Angel.. and I love her hair.

But we believe in this cause so much that we started to think about other ways we could raise money to give to this organization.

So, this is what I am going to do. If I raise $100 I will dress in drag and post pictures online. If I raise $200 I will dress in drag and wear it to the day of the event.. so I will be hosting the event all day in Drag.. we are talking full scale.. makeup, dress, hair.. the works.

So I am putting it out here for all to see.. and asking you all to donate to this wonderful cause.. we need to help these children to live a better life and cure these awful cancers..

To sponsor me in getting my head shaved and to see me in drag please click .. Shave Storm’s Drag Head

If I get enough money raised I will be posting the pictures and any video we can get of this adventure.

 

St. Balderick’s

I just got my package from St. Balderick’s. What is St. Balderick’s you ask? I am glad you asked actually. St. Balderick’s is a volunteered driven fundraising event that raises money to find cures for children’s cancer. This year I decided that I was going to be a shavee. You might have remembered me mentioning that a couple of posts ago.
They sent me some envelopes to keep donations in that people give me in person, and some little pamphlets to hand out to people and a pin to wear. I think I will wear it on the hat I am sure I am going to be wearing for a long time.
In the pamphlets there is a story about a little boy who has had three relapses and everyone he fights and comes back from. His spirit is so inspiring it just makes me want to give and give until I can’t give anymore. Then reality settles in and even though I would gladly give everything I own to help a child not suffer, I cannot do that, nor do I expect anyone else to do that. But I can give a little bit, I can and have offered to have my head shaved, to have people sponsor me for this event, but also I am going to give some money as well. I am not well off, I don’t know many people who are well off, but I know I can give at least one dollar and I am going to give at least that.
I can go with one less coffee.
Some people would say I could go with two less coffee -laughs-
So, I am taking four quarters and putting them in this envelope right now.
That is one dollar closer to my goal.
Anyone else?
