Go Team Love Lexi 2011!
This is my 5th year raising money to fight breast cancer - asking for donations instead of birthday and holiday presents. I know I always say that getting donations instead of birthday and holiday presents is the best present - although I always appreciate the few that slip through - I want you know that it really is true. Saving a life or getting a present? Hmmmmmmmmm the choice is easy! So far we've raised an estimated $35,000!!!!!!! Let's go for $40,000!!!!!
I have invited several Breast Cancer Survivors to help me design this year's poster for us to sell at the Love Lexi Tent at the walk on October 15th. Our theme is based on the idea that every survivor needs support...and I am my Auntie Mary's "wing girl"....so that is what we are going to be painting! Everyone still loves the "Peace For The Cure" painting and I was fortunate enough to sell a few thousand dollars worth. Artists Ferdie and Luisita Pacheco were like angels helping me paint it. So working with wings seems right in step with what it takes to beat this disease!
Please click here and donate in whatever way you can - money is TAX DEDUCTIBLE and I ask that you let as many people as possible know about our Love Lexi efforts. You don't have to come to the walk to be a team member or donate. There's even a "Sleep in for the Cure" option! Whoo hoo!
If you can join us you will have so much fun at the tent and we always
can use helping hands!!! Everyone is welcome!!! And I'm so excited that the Lehrman Day School team have joined forces with Team Love Lexi this year!!! Go Lehrman Lions!!!
If you ever questioned if "Art Can Heal" then I have another story for you. Last year when my family and I were delivering food baskets to senior citizens who can't leave home for the Jewish Holidays, we met a women who told us about how special the hand made childrens gift cards that come with the baskets have been for her over the years...and how they made a difference in her life. She said she even saved a few of her favorites - she showed them to us and to our surprise....ONE OF THEM WAS MINE FROM WHEN I WAS 7 YRS. OLD!!!!!
I have learned a lot since my trip to Dunkin’ Donuts in December 2006 when I started this fund raising thing..
I have learned you never know where inspiration will come from and how a simple pink donut can make you think about doing something great. And most important, I have learned that even a little 9...10...11...12 and now 13 year old can save a life.
Five birthdays ago, if you had asked me what it would be like to have a birthday and no presents, I would have said that I couldn’t even imagine it. I like opening a gift-wrapped box like any girl - just ask my friends! And yet for five years I have received the most extraordinary presents - donations, letters, support and meeting new people who inspire me. After all, if these women have the courage to face down cancer, the least I can do is my part to help.
I really believe that art can heal a soul and bring meaning to a life. I know it has made my life better and together I know we are saving lives every day!

I
dedicate my work to two special and very important women in my life who
I have lost. In 2007 I lost my beautiful cousin Missy who was only 23,
and about the same time one year later I lost my “Nana” who was my
grandmother. Neither one of them died from breast cancer - but it sure
showed me how difficult it is to lose someone special and what a gift
life is. Losing them has been very very hard and I have promised my
family to keep their memories alive with acts of loving-kindness.
Now, with the help of the Dade Community Foundation I have been able to start the Love Lexi Fund to continue my acts of loving-kindness. Our motto is: Be creative. Be inspiring. Be caring.
So welcome to my website! Please click to donate to the Love Lexi Fund and even if it’s just a little bit - every little bit counts big time! Plus now the Komen 2011 Race For The Cure campaign is on so come become a Team “Love Lexi” member! You can choose to be there with us on October 15th or simply donate and “Sleep In For The Cure” if you can’t! Together we will do great things!!!!
