Breaking $1,000

I have done a lot of fundraising in my life - American Red Cross, iMentor, Breast Cancer Walk, gymnastics team... You guys know how often I reach out with requests. In all of my fundraising, this is the first time I have raised more than $1,000. And, I have received so much support from you guys too - texting, pushing me to go to trainings, asking how it's all going (FREAKING EXHAUSTING ok??)

There are many times when I wonder if I can really do this - usually it's right after a 1 hour swim or bike and in that hour I am fully exhausted yet I have only done 20% of the actual race. I haven't even done the bike yet; I am just referring to spin class, my arch nemesis.

In those times, I think how crappy it would be if I raised all this money and then didn't race. I don't want to be crappy. Is the moral of the story, please keep donating and ask your friends to donate too? Well, partially. Just, thank you. Only $1K and hundreds of miles left to go.

Eric & Suzii, thank you sincerely for helping me break $1K for the first time ever. I look forward to see your smiling faces and peace-sign grins at the finish line on race day.
