Wow, how time flies. Only 4 months until the big race and only 1 month until I have to recommit to this race. That means, I have to make a choice to quit the race because of funds, or continue training for the race and guarantee the full fundraising commitment of $2,800.00.
I know I will recommit because, to me, quitting is not an option. Wally did not have the choice to quit - and neither do I. I also know that I can meet the fundraising goal, and hopefully exceed it with your support.
This cause is so dear to me and I am working on finding ways to raise additional funds - more for the life that may save than for the race I have to run. Did you know that more and more of the treatments found through research are working for not only blood cancers, but many other types of cancer as well? That makes me understand that the work the LLS does has an even bigger impact on the lives of all cancer patients and their families.
Current and Upcoming Fundraisers:
Team In Training Raffle Tickets
I am currently selling $5 raffle tickets for a raffle to be held on August 9th. There is no need to be present and there is a multitude of prizes. The grand prize is a Wii gaming system. There are also autographed sports memorabilia, restaurant gift cards and a variety of other prizes. You can donate on my website and/or send me an e-mail with the number of tickets you would like to purchase.
Hot Dog Social
With help of family and friends, I will be hosting a Hot Dog Social. Although I do not have all of the details worked out yet (date, time, location), I can tell you it will be in September and will include games for the kids and a raffle for the adults. I will send out an eVite and I will update my site with more information as it becomes available.
Thank you again for all of your support!
