The Susan Sandoval Foundation for Ovarian Cancer was created to increase awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors for ovarian cancer as well as other gynecologic cancers (uterine, cervix, vulvar, vaginal and fallopian tube). The goals of the foundation are to educate and improve the care of women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers and focus on innovative research in this field. Susan Sandoval was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer in May 2005 and died May 2007, at the age of 50. She worked as a nurse at LDS and Primary Children’s hospitals for 21 years. She had many friends, talked passionately about patient care and rights, and had incredible strength within her to always look at the positive in life and make the best of every day.
In 2007, the Foundation hosted the inaugural Susan Sandoval Run for Ovarian Cancer. This event raised over $13,000 and had over 400 runners and walkers.
In 2008, with the help of our sponsors, we hope to raise over $20,000 and have more than 500 runners and walkers. The race will be held on September 13th, 2008 at Sugarhouse Park.
The proceeds from the race will be used to increase awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors for ovarian cancer as well as other gynecologic cancers (uterine, cervix, vulvar, vaginal and fallopian tube); and, also, to support innovative research in prevention, early detection, and treatment of gynecologic cancer.
The American Express Zoo Rendezvous is our single most important fund raising event of the year and has been dubbed the “Wildest Party in Town” by City Weekly.
Make your 2008 reservations here.
Previous Rendezvous guests say, “It’s the one party of the year NOT to miss,” “we plan our schedule around the Rendezvous,” and “It’s the most fun I’ve ever had at a fund raiser!”
Thanks to the generous donations of supporters like you, all proceeds from Zoo Rendezvous are dedicated to animal care and capital improvements. By supporting our fundraising event, purchasing a syndicate ticket (attendance not required) or making a silent auction selection, you can help us provide you, your children and your children’s children an invaluable resource and unforgettable experiences.
The Zoo cares for nearly 900 animals representing 212 species. Twenty-eight of these species are considered threatened or endangered.
This year, the Zoo is participating in a global effort to save vanishing amphibian species, the Year of the Frog,
and this will make for a fun theme for the 2008 American Express Zoo Rendezvous.
Habitat loss, climate change, pollution and disease are causing amphibians to become extinct at an alarming rate. Frogs are the planet’s proverbial “canary in a coal mine.” Utah’s Hogle Zoo has been called upon to support the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)’s global action plan for amphibian conservation.
$150 per person or sponsorships starting at just $350
No guests under 21, please
All proceeds go to animal care and exhibit improvement at Utah’s Hogle Zoo.
For more information, please call (801) 584-1708.

This party is a benefit for the Simon Says Foundation - http://www.hopeprojects.net/ Here is a little about what they do…
Simons Says was organized in 1967 by Dr. Jerry Simons. He wanted to provide assistance for those who were in need and willing to help themselves. The organization has provided such people sewing machines, building materials for schools, engineering help, medical clinics, farm animals, clean water systems, and green houses. In 1999 Dr. Simons established HOPE PROJECTS as the delivery system of the foundation's humanitarian work and shifted attention to the peoples of the high Andes of
Dr. Simons and his associates discovered several hundred villages of the forgotten Inca people who fled into the
They teach the villagers the skills to help themselves in the future – they supply the building materials and the villagers build the schools, orphanages, etc. The villagers learn skills they can use to help themselves and their fellow man in the future.

Dear Best Friends Member,
We need your help to get the word out about Max, a little cattle dog mix who became separated from his family when they went camping in the China Meadows area of the Uinta mountain range near Lyman, WY. Max is a very shy dog.
If you see him, Jamee has these suggestions for catching him: When Max is approached, it might be helpful to skootch down to his level...or just sit right down on the ground, turn your body to the side, and not make direct eye contact with him (or use long, slow blinks)...put your hand out for him to smell (with some YUMMY treats, like hot dogs, or something). If you are able to grab the leash, be VERY careful, as he may fight the tension on the leash and try to back out of the collar. This would NOT be good. It might be better to drop the leash and try again rather than have him back out of the collar and then have NO I.D. at all. He loves kids and so might be more willing to get closer to children. Loves dogs, too, so might be willing to get closer if there is another dog there.
If you do see Max, please contact Jamee at: Wag-N-Train Dog Rescue

I love it when I find ways to do two of the things I am passionate about at once…. Shop and Fight Cancer! In case you want to do the same thing… here are a couple new sites that I have just found out about…
~ FatCyclist.com – If you are into cycling, or just like wearing the apparel, order the 2009 Fat Cyclist jersey. From what I understand, the proceeds go to help in the site owner’s wife’s fight against cancer. Get one here - http://www.fatcyclist.com/2008/07/08/special-dark-2009-fat-cyclist-jersey-unveiled/
~ Ford has gotten in on the Fight for a Cure (with the Susan G Komen Foundation) – Check out their site at http://www.fordvehicles.com/warriorsinpink/
You can enter to win the Warrior in Pink Mustang (or buy one yourself), nominate someone as a beautiful warrior, or just buy some adorable new apparel. I may just do all three!!
And I don’t know about you… but I really love that “Warrior Cap”, and several of the t-shirts, and the hoody, and the woven scarf!! Check them all out - http://www.shopwarriorsinpink.com/default.cfm?fuse=home

"Shaun Barrowes' first album of original songs, Big Bang Theory, is a sophisticated blend of jazz-pop, balladry, and big-band theatrics. Barrowes' clear-eyed enthusiasm is refreshing; his love of the music is contagious. While Big Bang Theory is clearly a nod to a rich musical past and an appreciation of its wide-screen cinema, Barrowes' pop leanings give the music a contemporary framework—the songs are both a longing glance backward and a running jump forward."
Meet Yoshi!
Kimberlee from Grand Junction, Colorado contacted us about Yoshi a tiny four pound apricot poodle that was dropped off at Mesa County Animal Services and was never claimed by his owner. They could not keep Yoshi any longer so Kimberlee took him in. Kimberlee has devoted her life to saving dogs from kill shelters and placing them in homes and now she needs help finding the perfect home for Yoshi.
We estimate Yoshi to be between 7-10 years old. He is currently living with 6 cats all of whom are bigger than him. He gets along fine with all of them. He also likes other dogs and has interacted with some as big as 65 lbs without any problems. He is neutered and current on all his shots, has a healthy appetite, and is housebroken (he lets you know when he needs to go potty). He has some tartar on his teeth so it is recommended that he eat hard food only.
Yoshi passed his temperament test with flying colors and he gets along well with people of all ages. He walks well on a leash but only uses three legs because his back left leg is folded back like a wing. We don't know if it was caused by a birth defect or an old injury but he can wiggle the leg and does not appear to be in any pain. He loves to get on his back and wiggle his body and even wiggles his winged leg when he is playing. Otherwise he is in perfect health.
We are looking for the perfect home for this wonderful, happy, playful little guy.
If you can provide the perfect home for Yoshi please contact Kimberlee at DancingPawz@msn.com or 970-250-1786.
If you can't adopt Yoshi you can still help by passing this email flyer on to people who may be interested.

Dear friend,
On May 20th of this year, my husband, Jason, and Travis, a friend hired for help, were building our house in
Travis shattered both ankles, broke both legs, and fractured his spine after landing feet first in a window well.
Jason, on the other hand, landed on a bed of rocks—face down! He crushed every bone in his face.
After being life-flighted he endured eight hours of emergency surgery. The surgeons said there was only bone dust and fragments left, every bone entirely shattered in his face, he came out with over 20 titanium plates, complete with 60 titanium screws. To help further stabilize his face, his jaws were wired shut. A tracheotomy was performed to allow him to breathe and to be tube fed.
Both Jason and Travis are now faced with more intense surgeries, months of recuperation and physical therapy…and an uncertain future.
But to make things more tragic, they don't have any insurance coverage. As a result, they are now faced with significant, increasing medical bills and are still in need of more medical treatment.
Because Travis has no Insurance to receive any medical attention, he was sent home in a wheelchair and moved to
Many people have asked what they can do to help….
JASON'S MIRACLE $1 GAME:
Rachel had an idea and decided to create the following game for those who would like to contribute to medical treatment/surgeries for Jason and Travis: Donate $1! Tell 10 of your friends to donate $1! What a miracle it would be if everyone you knew could spread the word and gave a dollar.......$1 is something that we all can spare or share for good, meaningful use. We have now set up a new Paypal account that you can donate on-line. Just go to www.paypal.com and click send money. The email address you should use is Jasonsmiraclegame@yahoo.com. Or you can make donations at any Zions bank in the Jason Ostler Miracle Fund.
Take Care all of you! Life is so precious and often too short.
Thank you so much for your generosity and prayers!
With love,
Rachel Ostler and family

~We had the Race for the Cure on Saturday morning which was great, as always. From what I hear there were roughly 16,000 participants here in
~ A couple weeks ago there was a huge pet adoption fair that we stopped by to play with some of the puppies and check out all the cute dogs. This past weekend we decided to do that again – so we stopped by the adoption fair they were having in the parking lot at IKEA. There weren’t very many dogs there and we were happy to hear that a few had already found new homes. We enjoyed meeting cute little Pacino and Cody and playing with them for a bit. They were such sweet little puppies! Being the dog lovers that we both are, we have a really hard time seeing the dogs in those little cages and if we could, we would take them all home! We hope that they all find loving homes soon!
It's that time of year again.... when we head out to all sorts of cancer walks, fundraisers, etc. It's such a great way to take advantage of the gorgeous spring weather! And help some VERY good causes at the same time!
So.... on May 10th, we are Racing for the Cure!
Cancer is a disease that I think has affected every person I know in one way or another.... so let's fight it! Let's get rid of it! Why not start with fighting breast cancer on May 10th?
If you don't feel like walking, you can even register to "Sleep In For the Cure" and they will mail you a T-shirt. Haha!
Anyway, if you can't make it, please consider contributing... every little bit helps!
http://www.active.com/donate/komenslc2008/jenandtroy
We hope that many of you will come join us at this great event!
