Just trying to put together a cell phone/tent list for our event. So if you are willing to share, email me your cell number for inclusion in the list. We'll print it up for you and give you a copy to stick in your credential. I will email a detailed team meet up plan next week as well.
I have asked Melissa from the 3 Day for all of the hottie tenting assignments so we can know where we are all located in camp. I am in A15 so I am presuming we have tents A1 - A30 or so.
RIGHT NOW THE HOTTIES ARE THE #1 FUNDRAISING TEAM FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO EVENT! To date we have raised $168,529.62 and the money is still rolling in! And with all the fast and furious fundraising we've all been doing I have a HUGE announcement. Our cumulative fundraising across all of the hottie teams this is year is $335,501.03 which means we have surpassed a major milestone. The hotties have raised $2,023,906.03 since 2003. Let that sink in. I think a giant Wooooooohooooooo! is in order.
As of today we are 70 walkers (with a few new recruits joining this week) and 12 crew members strong. Our hottie crew are:
Adrienne Wingo – Sweep Crew
Cynthia McCuster - Pit 5
Eric Kwang - Medical Transport
Jim Lawson – Medical Transport
Joel Feldman – Sweep Crew

Each of us have very personal and profound reasons for walking & crewing. I wanted to take a moment, however, for a few shout outs:
Sarah Moore, hottie since 2003, is the #2 fundraiser for the SF event!!! Sarah we are so proud of you. What a phenomenal effort.
For the first time in my memory we have a whopping five male hottie walkers: Forrest, Jeff, Kevin, Barry & Dan!
Jan Down will not be walking with us as she will be starting her radiation treatment as we walk. Let us all keep Jan in our thoughts and prayers.
Cathy Cabral, hottie since 2004, will not be walking with us as she will be flying to meet her new adopted son!
We have the honor of hosting Barry Blauer, a 14 city walker, as a Warming Hut Hottie as he participates in SF. Let's make him remember this event above all of the others!
I can't belive it is almost here! Rest up, hydrate and start fine tuning your hot pink hottie radar. Over and for now,
Linda

Can you feel the Woooohooo inside of you?!
Okay, so I ripped that off from a WaMu radio commercial BUT the hotties have been all about "the Woooohooo" since 2003!
Weekend Recap: Saturday’s walk was a very vigorous but wonderful 16 miles which started shrouded in fog. We saw the hugeness of the Outside Land's festival, the stunning views from Tank Hill even through the fog and the very glamorous plastic sheeting stall "doors" at the Market St. Safeway. We walked past Duboce Park & Alamo Square on our way back to the Presidio.
Sunday we had another challenging 12 mile hill walk up the “secret forest” behind UCSF and then a "choose your own adventure" portion of the route: I made it walker’s choice to go up the hills of 17th Street OR take a detour up the Vulcan Street Steps. The group voted for the gorgeous but still very challenging Vulcan Street Steps! This is the first time in six years of leading walks I “free formed” our route back to the meeting location: such rebels! What a wonderful weekend of walking.
Wooohooo to Carol for blasting tunes from her cute Mini, to Eric for finding time to eat eggs, bacon & corndogs while still keeping track of the pack, and Avon hottie Judy for being there with us both days with that luscious fresh fruit even though we stopped following the route map. We are very spoiled and grateful to have had you all take such good care of us!
Wooohooo to Heather whose birthday was on Sunday! And double Wooohooo to Charisse for making two batches of cupcakes Saturday night, after walking 16 mile, so we could celebrate Heather's birthday in true hottie style. Mmmmmmm cake – I’ll fess up, I ate three!

Magic happens when we are out on the road together walking!
BUST it out! for Breast Cancer was a super success! We had amazing Art Bras, 20 silent auction items, 24 drawing prize items, games, our flower foam magnets (like our pins) for sale, event shirts and See's candy, Joel DJing, Simon Perez MCing, lots of food, refreshments and hottie hospitaility all around. We're still working on the final number but it looks like we raised over $6,000 with money still coming in!
One month ago there literally was no BUST it out! No prizes, no art bras, no food. We had the hall. Period. I almost cancelled the party as it seemed too daunting to pull together a fundraiser that would raise the thousands of dollars we had as our vision. All it took was a few emails and calls out to the network of hotties and hottie friends. Donations and offers of support began pouring in… There is a lesson in there: ask with your heart in the right place and people will respond.
This team, the Warming Hut Hotties was born out of the training walks we lead every weekend. Magic happens when we are out on the road together walking. A community like no other is born. The most kind, generous, caring people you will ever meet in your life walk in these events. Some people have participated every year; some walk one time. We have shared countless miles, conversations, laughter and tears together. We have shared life successes, challenges, achievements and tragedies. We treat one another in the way we wish the rest of the world could: with tremendous kindness & gratitude.
With this party are proud to announce the formation of our non-profit called In Our Lifetime. We have submitted our application and expect our non-profit status by year end. Our first project will be Shoulder to Shoulder: a walker mentoring program with will enable disadvantaged women and men to walk with us in an event. We will work to address certain circumstances that may have prevented them from participating before: financial, childcare, fundraising, transportation or training. We also have the vision of starting an emergency relief fund for people who are diagnosed with breast cancer but are without health insurance. Applications for the Shoulder to Shoulder program and a Volunteer Interest Application are available (email me.)
We want to affect positive life-affirming change just like we do on our training walks and our team: person to person. We can’t solve the huge problems ourselves but can make a huge impact in other individual’s lives. That is the core spirit behind the formation of this non-profit and we are very excited to get underway.
I am thrilled to announce that the Warming Hut Hotties are on the cusp on having raised over $2 million in six years. That is $2 million raised by ordinary women and men... walking. I did the math: that is over 13,000 mammograms! If you can believe in that, you too can believe in a world without breast cancer In Our Lifetime. It is within our reach. To those who helped plan, helped get prizes/food, volunteered during the event, donated an item, or came to the party thank you for making this a true celebration of life and community.
We have BUST it out! shirts for sale - $20.00 each! We’ll have them this weekend and at the Walk-luck picnic.
We will also have a pay pal link up soon - stay tuned - for those of you who wanted to donate but were unable to make the party.

40 Miles in the Bag, Baby!
Well the B2B is behind us! You are all brilliant no matter if you walked 40 miles or something in between. We did it - congratulations!!! For some it is a time to look back at how far you have come in your training. I hope you also got a sense of the wonderful community of walkers to which you belong. We try to make the B2B a mini-version of the supportive environment you will be immersed in during our 3 Day walk in a month.
There are no strangers here; only friends you haven't yet met. - William Butler Yeats
That is how I feel after sharing 40 miles of stories, laughter, tears, stretching, snacking, hydrating, peeing, blisters, aches and pains with you all. What a tremendous weekend.
It is a great idea to head for an easy ½ hour or hour walk to get the kinks out. If you are really sore or wiped out take it really easy this week. Arnica Gel/Oil is great for sports trauma. Ice and Advil if you are more than sore and see contact info below for our hottie podiatrist if you are having foot issues. Keep hydrating and stretching!
Many, many thanks to this weekend's remarkable Route Support Team: SATURDAY: Avon Walkers Sharla, Carol SUNDAY: Pip & Joel and Marsha Sutherland. It was like we were on a 40 mile buffet. Thanks for being right where we needed a little support, cheering, salsa dancing, deveiled eggs, dance music or woooohooing. Thanks for giving up a big portion of your day to be out on the road with us!
Our fundraiser BUST it out! for Breast Cancer is this weekend: Sunday, August 17th from 1-4pm. "Art Bra" Silent Auction & “Pick a Prize” Drawing with over 30 items. We are trying to raise as much money as possible in one afternoon! Please come on by for games, refreshments and a whole lot of pink!

There is still time to join the Warming Hut Hottie Team! So you've been training with us all of these weeks and unlike many college courses there are no prerequisites to joining the hottie team, except having the heart of a hottie. Remember it's not a physical attribute, it's state of mind, spirit and heart. Once a hottie, always a hottie! Why join? To show our colors on event (we have a lot of special hottie spirit items for the event), to have a community within the greater walk community throughout the event weekend, to compound our fundraising dollars - the hotties have raised over $1.975 million together since 2003. Don't be shy, take the leap! Email Melissa, 3 Day Field Coach, to be added to the team roster : mjlabonge@event360.com or call 800.996.3DAY (800.996.3329)
Dr. Jenny Sanders, our hottie podiatrist: She’s wonderful (and is a past walker) and knows how to help keep you walking even if you are having foot or blister issues. When you call be sure to tell them you’re a hottie! Financial District Foot & Ankle Center, 100 Bush Street, #420, San Francisco 415-956-2884, web: http://www.fdfac.com/

We made the paper!
Hope you are feeling OK after this weekend's 24 miles of eXtreme butt-buster hill and stair walks. Once again Saturday’s brilliant sunshine dissolved into cold fog on Sunday (I felt like a clammy popsicle when I got home.) Both days were very challenging walks but everyone banded together to support one another in true hottie style. First thing we tackled Arguello hill, then on to the Moraga St Stairs continuing with a climb up to Grand View Park, on to the the massive Sutro hill on Medical Center Way behind UCSF, and the grand finale up 17th Street! No matter what comes our way during the 3 Day… we will be ready! We are learning each other’s names, laughing at silly jokes and sharing our stories why we walk. One of the beautiful things about leading training walks is the safe place it creates for us to train and be a part of the greater walk community – friendships blossom where you may not have thought you’d find them.
Team Tenting Online Check In Deadline - Wednesday, August 6 which is tomorrow: If you are in search of a hottie tentmate let me know; I'll pair of people as you email me. Why join the team? So we have a home base within the greater walk community during the event. It is great to be able to tent with the people we have training these many weeks. The only prerequisite for joining the team is to have the heart of a hottie. (And, we have fabulous hottie swag, the famous deeleeboppers and team gear too.)

Team Tenting Online Check In Deadline - Wednesday, August 6 which is tomorrow: If you are in search of a hottie tentmate let me know; I'll pair of people as you email me. Why join the team? So we have a home base within the greater walk community during the event. It is great to be able to tent with the people we have training these many weeks. The only prerequisite for joining the team is to have the heart of a hottie. (And, we have fabulous hottie swag, the famous deeleeboppers and team gear too.) Email Melissa, 3 Day Field Coach, to be added: mjlabonge@event360.com or call 800.996.3DAY (800.996.3329)
