Today was the day of my big Breast Cancer Sucks Garage Sale (and lemonade stand).
I put a call out for donations and many strangers answered. The past week and a half was spent driving all over town gathering car-fulls of donated items.
Overall, we raised $122.25 today! That puts me $1888 away from the goal!!!
Very nice! I'm wanting to do a garage sale, but no one's willing to let me hold the garage/yard sale at their place. I'm going to start making phone calls... with the knowledge that it's working out so well for others. Maybe I'll do the flea market one weekend!
When my boyfriend told me his mother has breast cancer, I began a long search for a way to help. When I read about the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, I knew I had to do it.
After months of fundraising, I raised more than $2300 and walked 60 miles in the Chicago 3-Day!
Now, I'm learning to be a runner and just finished my first 5k!
All in all, I am participating in 100 miles of events in order to raise $5000 to find a cure. I've walked 60 miles, run a 5k (3.1 miles), have a half marathon planned for February (13.1 miles) and will end by running a marathon for the cure in April!
Chicago 3-Day for the Cure: 60 miles Wichita, KS Race for the Cure: 3.1 miles Breast Cancer Half-Marathon: 13.1 miles Texas Marathon for the Cure: 26.2 miles Total miles for a Cure: 102.4
Aiming for $5000
This year I want to raise $5000 in the fight for a cure
Boobs Rock: $250 3-Day: $2325 Race for the Cure: $260 Boobs Rock 2.0: $750

ReplyDeleteI posted a message on my area Freecycle asking for donations and had a great response!
