Today was the 6th annual WEPAC Hoops for Hope game.  I was asked to play in the charity basketball game this year.  WEPAC Alliance is a non-profit organization that covers any out of pocket expenses from preventative cancer screenings for any woman living in our 5 surrounding towns.  They have this benefit game every year.  They include high school seniors, alumni, former college players and WNBA/professional players.  I was happy to be asked, but also very nervous.  I had been shooting the ball some at home, but you just can't practice playing against professional athletes.  Cancer affects everyone is one way or another.  It was interesting to hear all the players talk about how cancer had affected their family and why they were playing in the game and supporting WEPAC.
I had a stressful morning getting all the kids ready and taken where they needed to go.  I took Jaide to Diane's.  She cried when I dropped her off, which was really hard.  I took the other 4 kids in to Kissels.  Gayla took care of them all afternoon then brought them over to the game.  Clint worked getting everything ready to plant wheat today, then picked up Jaide and came to the game.  The kids said the game was too long, but said they had fun.  Clint took a few pictures during the game, then a few of the kids and I afterwards.
