so if any of you have clicked on my donation/walker page, you'll know that I talk about one percent a lot.
Today is no different.
Today, I'm making it a point to sit my ass down at this computer and say that I'm looking for one percent...
cause that's how far away we are from the fundraising goal.
as of right now, all monies raised/pledged total $1775 dollars.... just a mere $25 dollars short of my goal. Just a little over one percent.
I have gotten money from friends.. from family, from friends of friends and friends of family, and family of friends of family. yeah. talk about being appreciative. One of my friends made a donation even though her husband has been out of work for a month.
I will be DAMNED if I don't walk all 39.3 miles. How can I not???
For the generosity and the complete outpouring of support... I just can not imagine what I was thinking by possibly not doing the walk this year. seriously... it's at the point now that my involvement in the walk is bigger than me.
does that make sense?
It's pretty cool, to be honest.
and pretty frigging intimidating. I mean.. I walked 3 miles yesterday morning with danny strapped to my chest and pushing rhena in the steel box of a stroller we have... and I was huffin and a puffin. Granted it WAS like a trillion degrees outside, and Danny DOES resemble a large thawed turkey (20-pounder.. at least!!) so that made the walking a little harder... but phew!
let's just say it's a damn good thing I didn't have to do THAT walk 13 times yesterday. I would not have made it.
but like Rocky.... I'm getting stronger, and the walks... they keep getting longer. ok, so maybe only the getting stronger part was like rocky, but you know what I mean.
anyways.
$25 dollars to go.
wow.
