Down to the Wire

September 7, 2010

I'm down to the wire and have only 39 days left to reach my fund raising goal before I make the walk. I need your help.

If you are following my blog and haven't yet made a donation, now would be the time. Anything you can do to help support my walk is most appreciated. This is a chance to help work toward a cure for a serious disease that effects thousands of people - both women and men - every year. Please take this opportunity to make a difference.

Just click on the DONATE NOW link on the left of this posting. Make your donation and make a difference.

I'm walking 39 miles in two days in order to bring attention to this cause. I'm also writing this blog. Both of these activities are far outside my comfort zone, so you can see how important this is to me. Please help.

I'm close to the end of my training period and I need to come up with some new ways to gain your interest. I'm pulling out all the stops. Starting right now I'm adding some incentives.

First, I'm holding a raffle for a quilt I made myself. The raffle tickets are $10 each and I'm only selling 50, so there is good chance for you to win. If you're interested, please send me an email or post a comment to the blog and I'll get back with you. Here is a photo of the 60" x 74"quilt.

Second, I'm selling some of the bracelets that I've made this year. I have mostly beaded bracelets with crystals, but I also have some with leather and wooden beads. I'm selling them for $15 each - much less than you would pay if you bought them in a store. You can see them by dropping by my office.

Third, for anyone donating $100 or more, I will bake cookies (brown sugar refrigerator, snickerdoodles or chocolate chip) or pecan bread and honey butter. For those of you who have already made a donation of this size, I will follow up with you. I don't want to penalize you for supporting me early.

I hope this makes you think about making a donation. Again - it is as simple as clicking the DONATE NOW button on the left side of this page and making a donation. I am counting on you to help put me over the top.
