I just raised $250 to fight kids' cancer and achieved PROTECTOR LEVEL in the challenge! Thank you so much for your support.
I spent some time today updating my page after creating my FB fundraiser yesterday, wondering if I'll be able to reach my $800 goal this year, let alone ride my 150 miles! Right now, both feel a little out of reach.
I am riding in memory of Jimmy this year, and his story had me in tears today. If you have a minute, give it a read on my page. I am so grateful for the opportunity to ride in his memory and to know a little bit more about what he and his family went through. I hope that, with your help, I can make even a small difference so that maybe other families won't have to go through what they did.
Then I happened to look a little closer at my page and realized that in one day, just one, I had received three donations! And in the middle of my rush to get ready for kickoff day, setting up my FB fundraiser at the last minute, and finally getting around to updating my page, I had even entered a cash donation under my own name by mistake. 😂
With my very late start, my donors show up for me. You continue to show up for me and for this cause. THANK YOU! There are no words.
When I fall short, you still show up.
I am getting a late start this year on the challenge. With a few setbacks, very hot/humid weather, and on-going foot pain, this year is starting uphill. 🫤 But what's new? Each of my years here has presented its own unique challenges, and the children I ride for are going through so much worse. They deserve my attention and commitment to doing everything I can to finish this so that they can finish their journeys successfully! So, here's to successfully completing journeys despite the obstacles! Please help me do it!
