5 Days LEFT!!! Plz Halp Me Reach Mah GOAL!
9/26/08
For those of y’all just tuning in (I thank you!), the whole point of me running this marathon is to find a cure for cancer, blood cancers to be more specific. By raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, we are seeding research to find a cure for all cancers as most medical breakthroughs in the field of cancer research has come from blood cancer research (chemotherapy, radiation, many drugs).
The Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco is
***23 days away!!!**
More importantly, my fundraising deadline is in (OMG)
***5 days*** away.
Here’s my last fundraiser: I’m raising money for each mile. It’s going to work like a sponsorship. Each mile is worth $50 (because if I “sell” all 26 miles, then I will reach my fundraising goal of $5,000.00!!
Rules: Donate $50 here: http://tinyurl.com/runwithme AND tell me WHAT MILE and LINK to whatever you want (your blog, startup, cause). I’ll publish it anywhere and everywhere I can (my blogs, fundraising pages, thank you emails, twitter).
**To put this in perspective:
$50 = concert ticket or pair of shoes…
OR
$50 could mean…Funding for a family support group with trained facilitator, or registration for 1 person to be a bone marrow donor.

****I still encourage ANY amount of donation! I’ve received anywhere from $4 to $1000 as a donation, and let me tell you, EACH AND EVERY ONE COUNTS!!!
Also, If you want to sponsor a mile, and can only donate $25, I’m willing to split up the miles.
This is my last big push, I hope you can be a part of it!
THANK YOU!!
P.S. You all have made this possible. Your support, encouragement, and donations make me get out of bed in the morning not just to run, but to live each day to the fullest, and to hope that when I have children, they won’t know what the word “cancer” even means. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
