What a journey this has already been. Just Monday, I had about $600 left to go to reach my fundraising goal for the breast cancer 3-day.
Today, I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that thanks to my last two doners, Cory U and Molly G, I have MADE IT!!!!!!!
It has been difficult to ask for money, particularly from friends and family whom I know don’t really have extra to give. The generosity has been amazing, and I even had two couple’s at Matts’ a few weeks ago open their wallets and each hand me $20. They didn’t know me, all they knew is I was wearing my 3-day button, and had invited them to the Matts’ fundraiser.
It almost brought me to tears, becasue these folks just simply gave. No receipt necessary, they just gave. And hugged me on their way out. So often, I am reminded of how crappy most people are. So to have love and kindness and generosity spread from these four, just made my heart swell.
Thank you to each and every doner. Every single dollar is making a difference in the lives of women everywhere. Together, we will fight breast cancer to the bitter end.
I’ve been training, and will continue to do so. Now that my goal has been reached, I can focus on helping my teammates, as well as focus on keeping my body in tip-top shape. I’m planning on two back to back 10 mile walks this weekend, and luckily my trusty sidekick Ellie (oh yes and Kona) will be by my side.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
