Wow, this thing has gotten bigger than I ever expected! The Hillsborough community has really come out in force for this event, I'm totally overwhelmed by the support. It looks like team "Newblanc's Vikings" will have 40-50 people in it, most of them students. (who, to be honest, are receiving community service credit for coming so it isn't totally selfless) The school has paid for matching team t-shirts for everyone. I'm pretty sure we'll be the biggest, pinkest team out there. We've also raised over $10,000, which is pretty mind blowing as well. In fact, the organizers are so impressed with our numbers, of both people and $$, that they have asked me to speak at the event. (gulp!) I'm waiting to hear from their PR people for some direction on what they'd like me to say. We'll see, should be interesting.
You can still get involved if you'd like.
