The big purple dinosaur says it perfectly: I love you / You love me / We’re a happy family / With a great big hug / And a kiss from me to you / Won’t you say you love me, too

We really are a great big, happy “framily” because we’re all related to TRACY! She’s a friend, a sister, a daughter, a mother, a cousin, a next-door neighbor, or something equally significant to each of us. Tracy demonstrates her love- both of US and of LIFE– by smiling her way through pretty much anything. While it hasn’t always been rainbows and unicorns, you wouldn’t know it if you weren’t a framily member.

Yes, our Tracy is eternally optimistic. Thank goodness! We could all use a dose of the faith that lead her to Steve or the joy that allows her to sling chicken nuggets as if the school children are doing HER a favor😄. Tracy is the first person to show up in a time of need and the last person to leave when we are lonely. It’s now our turn to share a little love…for her!

Unfortunately, being sick is expensive. There are deductibles, items not covered by insurance, etc. Plus, the time away from work comes at great expense.  Even if it’s just a little bit, I know one way we can help Tracy and Steve make ends meet: A fun-draiser. Emphasis on FUN!

Let’s support Tracy by purchasing a T-shirt or sweatshirt declaring our allegiance to TEAM TRACY! We have to get dressed everyday anyway, right?😊On a gloomy day, all Tracy will need to do is go on Instagram or Facebook to find pictures of her framily with great big, encouraging smiles. Our team can make a big impact on her road to recovery.

FAQ: 100% of proceeds of this t-shirt sale go directly to Tracy! Once your goodies arrive, simply snap a picture of yourself or your loved ones in your tee/sweatshirt and post it with #TeamTracy. If you don’t want a T-shirt, you can still donate using the same link. 

THANK YOU for joining me as I cheer on one of my oldest, best friends. She is the Godmother to my first born and was a bridesmaid in my wedding. I love you, Tracy! You wear your flamingo slippers, and I’ll wear my flamingo tee. Together, we will kick cancer’s ass!

xxoo, Sue
