FIRST GOAL - COMPLETED!

HOLY MACANOLY! We did it! We (because if it wasn't for you guys, this would have never happened) raised $2,300 in less than 3 months. Love you all!!


PS... you can still donate if you haven't already because the more donations, the merrier!

A HAT

A hat.

Such a simple thing normally but this one is special.

This hat is Gloria Myer’s and her daughter brought it to me today to wear during the walk.

I am honored to get to wear her hat.

87%! Time to get moving!

Up until now, this walk has been all about the donations and not so much about the training. I cannot believe I am already at 87%! I have $290.00 to raise to get to $2300 so that I can officially walk this. When I signed up for this walk, I never ever thought I would have the money raised at this point. Derek & I were talking about fundraising events & other options we could do this summer to get me to my goal and thanks to the generosity of everyone who has donated, the stress of fundraising is no more! I love all of you and appreciate your donations SO much! I always want to send out a special thanks to my friend and old neighbor, Kim, who asked her friends/family to donate for me (since she is unable to walk it with me) and they were just so generous and they don’t even know me! So now that the money is almost raised, I have no excuse to not be training. My intense training regimen is about to begin (If I don’t lose my baby weight after this, there is no hope for me!). Thank goodness there are training walks where I get to meet other people who are walking because I am starting to freak out about doing this by myself now. No cell phones are allowed on the walk (I might die!) and no headphones so I need to make some walking buddies ASAP!! I also will have to find a “roommate” for my tent since it sleeps two people. It would be nice to know the person beforehand rather than meeting them as we crawl into our tent to sleep… what if they snore? Oh my… what if I snore?!?
