Just about halfway through fundraising. Some days are better than others.

By the time my California Pizza Kitchen check goes through I will be halfway through my goal. I just got notice from Ruby Tuesday: $84. I was hoping it would be around $195 like CPK, but I'm still happy. Really wishing hoping and praying that the dog walk event brings in some donations. I've posted it everywhere so hopefully it will work out. We also have a car wash on Sunday. Presale tickets (all presale goes towards my personal goal) is NOT going well:-/ Kind of a flop now that I don't live in Tempe. Hopefully we will make a lot so everyone gets some donations:-) if you want a cat wash ticket it's a $10 donation!

I'm seriously hoping the Zumba event goes well. 150 people can fit in the studio so I'm hoping people will go! The coordinator and I have really tried to promote it. Presale tickets are also on sale:-)

I'm happy I recommitted, but still nervous about not making goal. It helps knowing it goes towards a wonderful cause and it will benefit another life. It doesn't mean it doesn't get discouraging at times. Hopefully it will pick back up or I'll at least regain motivation.

Want to check out upcoming events? Do it! Please:-)

Recommitment time!!

I can't believe it's recommitment time! For those that don't know, this is when you confirm you are going to stick with team in training, register for the race, book hotels and airfare, ordering race day gear or if you are going to discontinue. I admit when I heard of recommitment a couple weeks ago I was TERRIFIED!! I mean, this is where it gets serious! As nervous as I was, I knew I came way to far to quit. Aside from the fact I don't back out of commitments.

I filled out the paperwork, but the thought of physically turning it in was nerve wracking! The deadline kept creeping closer and closer. Im so happy my boyfriend Carlos decided to join me on the trip! He's very supportive and it means so much!

What's awesome is my fundraising got a Huge boost this week! I pretty much received a donation notification at least once the past few days! One from a total stranger! She's a TNT member all the way from Pennsylvania! Wow! She asked to order Mary Kay products too, which not only helps my fundraising, but it gives my friend dawn Johnson some new clients! Win win!

I am beyond grateful for my donors! They all rock! Whether they donate $25 or $100, I appreciate it! It all gets me one step closer to my goal, which will benefit cancer research! I've booked several events so my friends can somehow get involved with my campaign. I understand they can't attend everything and I don't expect them to, but I wanted there to be something for everyone! Maybe someone can't make a donation, but they can participate in the upcoming dog walk, Zumba party, or one of the other events coming up. Even getting the word out is a huge help! Whether you help out by a financial donation and/or tell friends and family about the cause, it all helps me reach this goal! Thank you guys! I can't wait to write about the TNT experience in San Diego:-)

TNT track night!

Another night on the track. It gets a little tougher every week, but I come out feeling stronger! Intervals are so tough! I'm good at staying steady, but running super fast? Nope! It feels awesome when you're done! Hill work and intervals will improve your overall speed like no other. Bring it on! Over 80 miles logged and counting.

I feel so blessed to have read my email to see another donation notification! This time it was from Siobhan Tobin from O' Connors Pub! She lost a friend to cancer and understood what it was like to fundraiser for a cause like she did for Susan G. Komen! It really is a lot of work, but it's worth it because you know you're doing someone wonderful for someone else who truly needs it. It's brought me out of my comfort zone too, which is always a good thing!

April is jam packed full of LLS fundraising events! I hope my friends don't think I'm doing overkill, just tried to work something out where everyone cam help! Maybe someone can't do a $50 donation, but they can go to my Zumba event for example. Fundraising is supposed to be fun too!

I got my check from California Pizza Kitchen for my fundraiser a couple weeks ago. Drum roll.. $195!!' Wow! So much better than I thought! Thanks to my friends for either attending or inviting friends/family to attend. You have no idea how big of a difference it makes! Remember, ruby Tuesday is doing the same event tomorrow all day. My amazing boyfriend and my puppy will be in attendance on the patio! Come on, you know you'll go to happy hour somewhere!

There's also a dog walk event at Grover's off leash arena on the 13th, car wash on the 14th, Zumba party on the 20th and a store front fundraiser at wal greens in Scottsdale this Saturday! Wow. I'm almost at $1,000, I would like to be at $2,800 by the end of April! It can be done with your help! Wanna donate? Do it!

Did I mention I'm selling Mary Kay products all April long and 20% of the sales goes towards LLS?! Well, that's happening too! Help my friend Dawn Johnson out AND donate to a great cause simply by purchasing lip gloss, eye liner, make up remover and more! Message me for further details:-)

Anyway, another early day before heading off to my final restaurant night for the season! See you all tomorrow, right?
