Fund raising

I first must say thank you to all the generous people who have donated to our efforts to participate in the breast cancer 3 day walk. What a lot of people don't know about this huge event, is that not only do the participants walk 60 miles over the course of 3 days, but each and every walker raised a minimum of $2200. You can't actually walk if you don't raise at least that much money. Although it is an athletic event, it is a fundraiser at the core. So far, I've raised 23% of my goal. So I do have a long way to go.

I have never been involved much in fundraising, so I'm not so sure how to go about it. If anyone has any ideas, skills, talents or resources that would be helpful in this endeavor, I would appreciate your help immensely.

I'm walking, in preparation too. So if you see me walking in the area, please try not to run over me, say a prayer for all of us, and perhaps make a donation to the cause. There is a t-shirt for sale, that says "Now that we've made it ok to talk about breast cancer, let's make it unnecessary." That sounds like a fabulous goal to me. I think you have to be sixteen to participate in the walk. I hope that a cure has made the walk a moot point by the time my children are old enough to participate. Just imagine it!

My thanks and gratitude to all who have assisted me thus far. Pray I can reach the financial goal, and the very real finish line this October.

Peace
