It's Time to Get Your Rear In Gear!

Last year, Kimberly formed the first LiveSASSY team for Raleigh's inaugural Get Your Rear In Gear event.

Kimberly (#546) "getting her rear in gear" with her 2009 Team LiveSASSY

Afterwards, she posted the following on her blog:

"I DID IT!!!  I walked the whole 3.1 miles without my wheelchair. I did take the wheelchair with me, however, I went ahead and just pushed it. Didn't even need it. I was so-o-o-o-o determined not to use it. It was a great experience."

So excited about the event, Kimberly immediately started talking about her 2010 team, even while nursing her sore legs and prepping for another week of radiation and chemotherapy. She wanted a bigger team and to raise even more money for colorectal cancer awareness.

Kimberly is not here to lead the 2010 team, but as always, her sass lives on. Three LiveSASSY teams have formed in her honor:

MARCH 6: Raleigh, NC
Captain Lisa Fellure


MARCH 13: Charlotte, NC
Captain Dana Webb


MARCH 28: San Antonio, TX
Captain Becky Norris

Click on the team captain names above to link to information about these event dates. You can enter to walk or run as a Team LiveSASSY member. Or, you can simply make a donation in honor of Kimberly's legacy and the spirit of living sassy. All fundraising goes to raising awareness of colorectal cancer, providing screening programs for those with financial barriers and creating support for those affected. Plus — 75 percent of funds raised stay local to ensure community awareness and improvement.

Participants will receive a t-shirt with the team name on the front:

The back of the shirt will feature a message spreading the word about Comfy for Chemo:

Coming Soon — Getting Sassy Rears In Gear

Teams Sassy are forming for the Get Your Rear In Gear events in Raleigh, Charlotte and San Antonio. More information on how you can get involved is coming soon.


Stay tuned! 

Texans Live Sassy

Remember those days when you'd call friends the night before school, giggling, and say: "Wear your (insert-favorite-Tshirt-here) tomorrow! Pass it on!" and a whole crew would show up dressed alike?

Well, who says you have to outgrow that kind of camaraderie? That kind of fun?


Above all, that kind of unadulterated support.

Not the staff of Pine Forest Elementary (PFE) school, who declared last Tuesday, January 21, Live Sassy Day to celebrate Kimberly's life — and like true sassy girls do, wore matching Tshirts to symbolize colon cancer awareness.

Karen Nypaver, Kimberly's mother, is PFE's speech pathologist. She addressed the faculty by sharing a mother's message:

"Take care of yourself. Listen to your body. Get yearly physicals and be persistent with doctors if any symptoms are not improving."

The staff of Pine Forest Elementary, located in the Houston metropolitan area, will participate in the Get Your Rear In Gear 5K Run/Walk in San Antonio on March 28. PFE participants, along with family and friends, will be racing under the Live Sassy team name.

Live Sassy teams are also forming in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC's Get Your Rear In Gear events.

More information about Get Your Rear In Gear and joining TeamSassy will be updated here soon.

Stay tuned — as always, there's more sassy to come!
