The hardest part is dollars & sense for me. I've never been a business woman or even a sales man for that. I've always just put my head down and work hard for everything I ever wanted. If I didn't want it bad enough, then I wouldn't get it.
Fundraising is going to be the hardest part of this challenge for me, hands down. I hate asking for money. I hate asking people for anything - but that is part of the challenge for me. - to extend myself to not just grow physically but also personally.
The night after I accepted this challenge and registered - I laid in bed having an anxiety attack. I wanted so bad to withdraw from the race. Not at all because I don't think I can run 3 miles.... it's because I didn't think I could raise $1750.00. I wanted just to pay it out of my pocket and not have to deal with it. I texted my friends Jeff and Colton to ask for reassurance. I talked it out with my husband a million times and came up with worst case scenrios
I wasn't even sure until I sat down to write my fundraising letter that I found peace. I am not the strongest writer (or speller. I just had lunch with my 4th grade teacher, Mr. Metzger. That was one thing he specifically remembered about me!) The words flowed from my heart. Tears filled my eyes. I was so proud of the letter I wrote. I'm sure many of you reading this have received it or had a chance to read it on my site. I knew that Justin had help me find the words to write this, and somehow he told me that he's gonna make sure it all works out.
I'm grateful for the people that have already donated this week:
