There we are at Point Sublime. To get there, you have to take a four wheel drive vehicle about 20 miles out on one of the roughest roads I have ever been on. The view at the end is stunning! That drive was nothing compared to the months of treatments and recuperation Jim went through after being diagnosed with oral cancer in January, 2001. I am so thankful and grateful for every day we have together, because not everyone makes it to the end of that road.
I am doing this auction to bring awareness of oral cancer to as many people as I can reach. The screening for oral cancer is a simple “in the doctor’s or dentist’s office”, non-invasive proceedure. It only takes about 5 minutes. So, this year when you have your annual physical or the next time you go to have your teeth cleaned, ask your doctor or dentist to screen you for it.
The item up for bids this week is a genuine Grand Canyon National Park stainless steel water bottle:
This is a nice bottle, with a plastic screw in stopper that has a hole in the top for attaching to a lanyard or belt clip. It is lightweight and easy to hold on to.
Oh, and I have signed the bottom of it:
I am starting the bid for this item at $5.

You say the bidding stops on January 2, which has already passed. You might want to change that. 🙂 I have a blue one from Yellowstone, so I’ll bid $7.50 on it to get you started! 🙂
