...And The Countdown Continues

i wish that you all knew exactly how much time was spent on my computer and phone last week. so much that it makes me SICK. and even though i had a really good reason still working on THIS , it was not my favorite thing to do. i hate feeling like i am harassing people or begging for money but unfortunately, there is no way around it. so once again, another week continues....

but let me give you some good news!!! it was a good week, a REALLY GREAT week and some awesome people came forward to help. like wow! some were close friends and some were complete strangers. and let me say just how much that all warms my heart. the love and compassion that comes out from friends and strangers when someone is in need! ahhhh i LOVE it!

so here is this weeks project that will go along with my master plan. this weekend, i will be doing THIS and have set up a "pledge" plan. it is a 10k so for every km that i handcycle, i am asking for an amount of your choice to donate. you want to do $1/km? great! you want to do $5/km? great! you want to do $10? great! it is totally YOUR choice. half of what i earn will go to the university's cancer awareness group and the other half will go to my handcycling efforts. i'm really excited to do this since it is for such a great cause plus it will only help me to get ready for THIS! (and for those who live in my little area, don't worry, you'll be getting a knock on the door just like our kids do with the walk-a-thons!?)

so please if you could help me out with this, go to paypal.com and enter in the email address kterry88@gmail.com and make a donation.

little by little, i know that i will achieve my goal and especially when i'm able to give back to the community!

You know what you could think about doing? Set up a little widget on your sidebar with your goal donation amount, and then have it linked up or update it when you get new donations. Like Anna See did with the well donations - remember?! If this doesn't make sense I can email you. I think it would help people see what your goal is, how far you need to go, and it might inspire them (especially random people who click on your blog through other people's blogs - like I was talking to a friend about you this weekend and she wanted to know what your overall goal/need is for the boston race, and how much you had already raised, and I honestly didn't know- I think it might help peeps to see that info in black and white in the top corner of your blog!) :)
