As most of you know I spent last weekend in Kansas City at a fencing tournament. I am happy to report that I fenced very well rolling away with two shiny medals! Thanks to your suppourt and love of wheeling chef cookies I was able to pay my registration fee, cover my hotel room, eat and buy a new mask! More importantly thank you all for the text messages, Facebook posts and tweets wishing me luck, those meant more to me then the financial support. Delta behaved themselves and my chair and equipment arrived in one piece, honestly I think they managed to bend it back to where it was before the infamous flight from hell.
I never thought I would be participating in wheelchair fencing nor that I would be supporting my participation in it with the profits from cookies, but here we are almost two years into my fencing career and a year and a half into running a cookie business and things are rolling right along. My next major event is in Cincinnati Ohio March 16th-19th and then April 13,- April 16, Virginia Beach, Virginia. I'm going to be vary busy.. And I'm going to have to start selling a lot of cookies.
This years big goal is to pay for the tournaments and get a new fencing chair, the one i'm using now is hand me down and has served me well but its time to get one built just for me, They are not cheap but worth it, a new chair breaks down to about 500 dozen cookies but it can be done.
Again I cannot express my gratitude for the support I've received from all of you. Thank you for joining and supporting me on this journey.
