So…through lots of love and support (and votes) from her friends, family and community Karissa WON!!!

Hopefully many of you saw her on Sunday at the Astros game.  I am so thrilled for her!  Congrats Karissa – you deserve it!!!

I love my family and my friends – there is simply nothing great than their presence in my life.

It wasn’t until my friend Karissa was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at 30 that I realized how short life really is.  I just didn’t think people “our age” got breast cancer.  Karissa has kicked her cancer’s rear, but not without a huge fight.

Being a huge Astros fan myself I am thrilled that Karissa has entered this contest.  It’s a chance to be the Bat Girl for a day for the Astros.  She’s a HUGE fan.  She lives out of state now, but she travels back to Houston each year for games and she and her hubby go to Spring Training each year…I admit it, she is likely a bigger fan than I am.

So, if you will pretty please click here and vote for Karissa (YOUNG SURVIVOR) and cross your fingers and hope that she’ll win!

Don’t worry…you don’t have to sign up for anything to be able to vote.  Please send this to anyone you know so that they can vote too.

I thank you and I know Karissa does too.
