Colleen’s Dream Making Headlines
Greetings from Cleveland!
Over the last month, we have been busy finalizing lots of plans. We have exciting partnerships with NFL kickers and punters supporting Colleen’s Dream and in return creating a bigger impact on ovarian cancer research close to their respective cities. The golf tournament and gala will be officially announced with all the details in the next few weeks… and don’t forget the bike ride!
Kicking For The Dream is taking off! To date, the project has raised over $5,000 and looks like it will meet its goal of $10,000. If you haven’t checked it out, go to www.kickingforthedream.com.
The world is starting to take notice of the foundation. Colleen’s Dream has been featured recently in the following news stories:

We also have been able to circulate our awareness poster to over 1 million people via Twitter. A big thank you goes out to Jill Pall! You can follow her at @KnockoutOC. Amazing woman. A true teal warrior. She even signed up for Kicking For The Dream. Check out her profile: http://donate.kickingforthedream.com/jillapallooza.
On a personal note, I have missed my family so much this football season. Nicole and the kids are staying in Phoenix while I play this season out. The hardest part is behind us. They are in town since Chloe has fall break. Before they came to visit, I had only seen Chloe and Luke for 7 days since July 20th (Nicole snuck in a trip with Caleb the weekend after our Thursday night game). Moving forward, I will get to see them for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Getting time with everyone has recharged my batteries. Who knew the little ones could grow up so much in such a short time? Over the last few days I have showed them Cleveland and will send them home with an amazing vacation high… Chloe wants to live here now.
Exciting times. We are so grateful for all the support over the last 10 months. Thank you for joining us in the fight. Thank you for helping us strive each and every day to get closer to the dream of one day having a reliable, accurate early detection test.
