In the beginning of September, Taylor started his Eagle project. His cousin, Josh, had just finished Chemo after having been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. The recovery rate is 90% in kids that are not in stage 4, but Josh's cancer was definitely in stage 4. Taylor wanted to do something for cancer. Our 26 yr old neighbor had just fought breast cancer, and her brother had collected pink yoplait lids, which money would go towards research in the fight against breast cancer. We decided to do that as well. From September to November, yoplait puts out yogurt with pink lids. Every lid that is sent back is 10 cents towards the research of breast cancer. We put baskets in doctors offices, law offices, our schools, and spread the word to all our friends and family. In the end, we gathered 3,000 lids, and donated $300 dollars towards this cause.
So many pitched in on the counting.

So many helped gather lids at the assigned time.

They did it even in inclemental weather.
