In October of each year, several events are held to bring awareness to breast cancer. To a couple of sib- lings, cancer awareness should be a 365 days event.
With that in mind, Trudy Johnson and her brother, Nate Johnson (founder of this organization) are spear- heading a “Count Me In 365 Days Awareness Against Cancer Walk.” The walk will be held on Saturday, Febru- ary 27, 2016, starting at 9 a. m. at Ragan Park and will end at Middleton High School.
The event is being held in honor of Mother Martha Gunn, who is a cancer sur- vivor. She is living life to the
fullest, and according to Ms. Johnson, “she wants to em- power men and women by increasing the awareness in their minds all over the world, especially in the African-American commu- nity; and to educate for early detection.
Those who wish to partic- ipate in the walk will need to purchase a ‘Count Me In 365’ tee shirt.
For additional informa- tion on the walk and/or the tee shirts, contact Trudy or Nate Johnson at (813) 562-5727 or (813) 817-7543, or you can email: count- mein365@gmail.com. If you cannot participate and would like to donate, there is a gofundme account, www.gogundme.com/count- mein365.

Anyone who has attended the real estate classes being conducted by Eddie Ser- ralles, left with not just a better understanding of the process, but a sure-fire way of being successful.
In the class held Tuesday night at the Children’s Board, Serralles instructed 18 people with his formula for success in the real estate industry.

“What I try to do is teach everyone how they can take advantage of a market that is on the rise, and the formula of achieving loans from lenders without you having to spend a dime.”
Serralles has been suc- cessfully flipping houses and buying rental properties for more than two decades, and also has family members who’ve become millionaires using his formula.

“All you have to do is be willing to work hard, and have an eye for where all the opportunities are.”
Serralles said he has sur- rounded himself with a team of investors, mortgage bro- kers and real estate brokers who guarantee success when you go out and find proper- ties.
“You can be driving in your car and pass opportuni- ties along the way and not see the potential.
“To enter into this career, you have to be confident, a great listener, and have a keen eye for good deals. De- veloping properties for a sec- ond income is key to success, and the foundation for al- lowing your properties to grow.”
The classes are free, and on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, they are held at the Serralles Group Office, 2322 North Highland Av- enue. For more information about the classes, call (813) 307-0007.
