Have I said "thank you" lately? Incase you haven't heard, I am so amazingly and incredibly THANKFUL to my supporters!!! In one week I raised over $1000 and met my 3Day fundraising minimum. I simply cannot believe this to be true! With 28 days to spare?! Crazy.
I had started to get worried about my fundraising a few weeks back when I realized that I was a wee bit behind where I was last year at this time and most people who donated last year had already donated for this year. (that was a really long and confusing sentence, sorry about that). Well, deep down in my heart I knew that there was no need to worry and I only wish I would have listened to that little voice inside instead of stressing out! Now I am waaaay ahead of where I was last year!!
So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! You all are completely amazing and I am so honored that you would come along side me on this journey. I feel like every day I hear of someone else with breast cancer, someone's niece, or mother, or aunt or grandmother or daughter was just diagnosed and it just makes me angry. That being said, I'm thrilled to be doing my part in the fight against breast cancer and I'm honored and amazed by the incredible people that are in my life that would partner with me in this battle.
Please please please remember that your donation IS making a difference. I can't really say it better than the Susan G. Komen foundation - so here's a little snippit from their website.
Because 10 million women around the world could die from breast cancer in the next 25 years, we continue to fight every minute of every day to save every life.
Thanks to people like you who share our vision of a world without breast cancer, we’ve made huge discoveries in finding new and better ways to detect the disease at its earliest stages. We now know so much more about the different types of breast cancer and specific ways to attack each kind. And we work day-in and day-out in communities throughout the world to ensure everyone can access quality care and these new advances. But the fact is, breast cancer is still life-threatening, and until we can keep people from dying from it, we need your help - your generosity is crucial as we continue this fight.
They are getting closer to finding a cure and you are a part of it. THANK YOU.
