Happy new year! I hope you and yours had happy and healthy holidays (alliteration for the win!). It's 2015 and I'm hitting the ground biking. See what I did there? As of January 4, 2014 I'm $200 away from my January goal of $500. I've been busy writing letters and asking around (expect letters, emails, phone calls, Facebook messages, and carrier pigeons soon!)
First, let me say that I, like most people, abhor asking for money. Here's the thing: this isn't for me. This money isn't for me. If I remind myself of that often I usually manage to muster the courage to ask someone to donate. Because, hey, this money is going to a really great cause! This cause is bigger than me and my fear of someone saying no or throwing me a dirty look.
For now, I'm looking for ways to make fundraising fun. I'm working on incentives ($20 for postcard from the road; $100 for a days worth of photos) and planning some events (Twister Tournament anyone?). If you want to help out and are low on funds, give me some time. I'd love help fundraising, whether that be helping with a bake sale or yard sale or asking people you know to donate.
Basically, this is me asking you to donate. Any amount means the world to me and every person that dollar helps.
