Fundraising

I am so so so close to meeting my fundraising goal! I am about $230 away. I'll be receiving $175 for serving beer with TNT at the KCAL kegger and then the rest will be cake! I really was freaked out when I first heard about the fundraising requirement but I'm really glad I stuck to this challenge. It confirms my belief that if I really want to do it, I can do it.


THANK YOU to my family, my coworkers and my friends..and even the few strangers who donated for all your support. (even though none of them reads this)

YAY!

Week xx (???)

Good morning!
I had to come post right away this morning after my run because I feel really great! I decided to start training with the full marathoners (in hopes of doing Nike full instead of half). Today we did 8 miles and I was so happy when I finished! A little hilly but we got them over with in the first half of our workout. I ran at a slower and easier pace today so my injuries weren't aggravated at all and I didn't feel as dead as I usually do. I'm still in disbelief..but 8 miles - get it me! and get it everyone else with Team In Training!


A huge huge THANK YOU to my company, MATT Construction Corporation, for donating $500! MATT is such a great company to work for and as you can see, they are very supportive of their employees. I'm so grateful to be with this company, not even just because of the donation, but because it was the best career choice I have made. "Great Leaders Great Builders Great People".

Also, another huge huge THANK YOU to my mom and my sister! I sent them a letter expecting $20 or something and my cute little mother called me last night saying she and my sister raised a couple hundred for me! She's so cute!

Although it doesn't reflect it on my website, with my mom's recent donation, I have about $400-500 left to raise. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I really didn't think I could raise more than $100 and look where I'm at now. I haven't even finished mailing out my donation letters and implemented my fundraising events yet.

Oh! And another THANK YOU to Marc Cherlin, Senior Estimator at MATT Construction (I'm telling you..great company) for donating $100!! I received a surprise check in the mail from Marc, and with his and BofA's generosity, that will be a $200 donation!


I'm so excited, thank you everyone!!
*Can you tell how happy I am right now?
