I’ve participated in Run for the Cure a couple of times in the past, but this will be my first time as a breast cancer survivor. (And I’m going to have to walk for the cure this time, because of my back problems.)
The run (or in my case, walk) takes place on October 3rd. I’m on Laurie Kingston‘s team, No Pink For Profit. It’s a very impressive team comprised of more than 30 women, several of whom I’ve been wanting to meet.
The only part I’m not looking forward to is fundraising, because I’m an abysmal fundraiser. If any of you would like to sponsor me, please visit my fundraising page. Anything you can do to help me reach my goal of $150 will make me very happy*. You’ll get a tax receipt and you will save me the embarrassment of going door to door asking total strangers to sponsor me.
Thank you.
*However, the opposite is not true: You won’t make me unhappy if you don’t sponsor me.
Hi Zoom, Quirky B ‘n me’ll take ten bucks of that action.
Best wishes!
Shannon
P.S. Baby Squirrel Oscar is in sanctuary with two young females and is loving their attention. Hopefully, he’ll be released at the end of the month. It’s a blooming success story!
You’re already past your goal; congratulations! (And I’ve helped to get you a bit more past that)
My daughter is doing the 3 day walk in October and the level of money needed is significantly higher (2300 dollars). She is struggling but not giving up! Good luck on your walk/run.
I’m so happy to be with you on Laurie’s team and I really look forward to meeting you.
I am a terrible fundraiser too. So far my Mom has sponsored me (Thanks Mom!). I like this post though. It’s exactly my style.
Thank you SO SO SO much, Dave, Shannon, Lucy, and Deb! Phew. I feel so much better now that I’ve met my goal and any further support is just icing on the cake.
Shannon, I’m sorry I never got a chance to meet Oscar in real life, but I loved following his story on your blog. You done good.
Donna Lee, is she running for three days?? $2300 is some pretty serious fundraising.
Finola, I’m really looking forward to meeting you too!
