25,400

Look at that number and ask yourself 25,400 what?

And now ask yourself another question, what do you think it takes to collect and ship 25,400....

Christmas Card for deployed troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Well that is the total amount of cards and leters collected by Kat in Ga during her 2007 Operation Love From Home Christmas Card Drive which concluded last week.

Kat writes on her blog:

[t]he for real total going out in a couple hours is 25,400!

I have another nine thousand letters left over from the Q100 Big Thank You project (remember they gave me all the "after the deadline" stuff they didn't ship) that have been read and sorted, etc... but I ran out of suitable boxes (only had the super-huge ones left) and need to get a few more addressees to send them to. Funds permitting, I hope to send the remaining 9,000 next week. (Better late than never...) :)

WAY TO GO EVERYONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now, time for a quick "Kat nap" before I have to get up and go to the post office - LOL!

So I'm asking a favor of the readers of The Thunder Run...can you send her a couple bucks to offset postage...

Donations can be sent to:

Thanks Kat and thanks to all of you for helping her reach this goal and spread some cheer to our deployed troops.

[Ed Note: Kat is not asking for this help, this is me asking you to help her out...she deserves it.]
