So. Another year. Each year has brought new aspects to this humble party. We've gotten to know some people who have returned year after year with support through donations and pictures. We've read stories from people who've battled breast cancer and won; we've seen some of our friends succumb to breast cancer and related issues and had their health deteriorate. We've seen pictures from people of all shapes, sizes, and skin tones, all wanting to come together to celebrate breast health and raise awareness in the hopes of saving lives. We've heard so many jokes about cervical cancer it's not funny anymore. But most of all we've raised money toward worthy causes and felt good about having done something that matters.

Among others, here are a few worthwhile notes about this year's Boobie-Thon. We and our volunteers have, in the past two weeks, processed over 1500 emails, published over 900 pictures in over 6 different primary galleries, and posted over 150 entries just with photo submissions. That's a lot! I am truly humbled and amazed by your support.

We've learned a lot. We've reinforced friendships. We've laughed, cried, celebrated, and stressed together. We've been a team. All of us. Those of us behind the scenes and all of you out there, reading this. For this brief time we've worked together toward a common goal and we were successful! Thank you, volunteers, donors, people who linked the Boobie-Thon on your site and directed traffic our way, and especially those of you who influenced other people to donate their money, time, or boobie pictures to the cause. Finally, and foremost, thank you Robyn, for putting your influence and energy into giving a little something back for a fifth year in a row.

Without you, (and you... and you and you and you) there really wouldn't be a Boobie-Thon. Please... talk amongst yourselves....
