First the Economy......Now, Shingles!

The economy is in apparent free-fall.  Unless you were wise when buying your house, your mortgage may be in trouble.  The house next door might be vacant and bank-owned.  Hopefully, your job and insurance are secure and your health is intact!

While we here at the Team Shelby HQ are doing fine financially, an unexpected demon has visited us: The Shingles!

For those of you who don't know, the shingles are an adult form of the chicken pox virus that impacts the nervous system.  Aside from some pretty nasty looking sores, the key feature is a potpourri - or buffet, if you like - of every known variety of pain from the dull ache to the shooting & stabbing variety.

The shingles have put Liz nearly totally out of commission for almost two weeks now! She is slowly getting back to her college & Jazzercise schedule (she subbed out all her classes and cancelled juniors at the elementary school!  So you know this is bad, bad stuff!). 

But our Team Shelby organizing schedule was derailed there for a while during the critical month of September.  We are relying on each and every one of you more than ever to do what you can to sign up walkers & raise donations this year!

We love you guys and know you are there pulling for us with your support and prayers.  Use the online tools to reach your friends and family with requests for $20 donations - a little bit from lots of people adds up in a big, big hurry!
