Fundraising Update

I really had every intention of posting an update sooner than this! Right about the time I hit the 50% point would have been a good time, but then 50% came and went so quickly I just didn't find the time. As of this evening I'm at 83% of my $2500 goal, so clearly fundraising is going very well! That's not even counting the few verbal commitments I've gotten and a check that came in the mail that I have yet to deposit. I think I'll be able to finish by the end of the month!

My dad is also well on his way to his $2500 goal. He sent out his first fundraising email earlier today and has already gotten $225 in return. I'm sure his friends and family will be quick to donate since Dad's ambition is so incredibly impressive!

I may be slightly ahead of my dad with regard to fundraising, but he certainly has me beat in the training arena. I need to get out this weekend and walk! I'm hoping to get a 10 mile walk in before I go volunteer on Saturday morning, so I'm crossing my fingers for good weather!
