Hello Blogging World!!!! I have recently in the past few days decided to take on the daunting task of fundraising. As many of you know this trip basically is going to cost me an arm and a leg (all worth it). I have been checking out previous world racers blogs and trying to see what they did as an good and east first fundraiser. They have done some really cool and complicated ones but for my first one I really wanted something simple. The fundraiser I have chosen to do I stole from the other people on my team this year and it is called Adopt-a-box. Basically all you have to do is pick a number one through 100 and donate the number that you picked. The best part about all that is that you can donate to me right on my blog so there is no complicated place you have to go.
I am really looking forward to the rest of my fundraising journey. I have been dreading every aspect of the fundraising part of my trip thingy and I come to realize that it is not all that bad. I am not a very organized person and I was under the impression that I had to have everything super together in order to fundraise successfully. I am already getting the impression that God is helping me out with this more than I thought that he would. I am so happy and thankful that I have family and friends who are willing to support and loving as much as they do.
I am in contact with someone right now and I am getting tshirts designed. I am so excited for those to be sold because I know that they will bring in some great revenue and also It will be a great way for me to share my story once again with others around me. I am learning to appreciate that God has put all these different obstacles in my life. I am growing already and I am not even in a different country yet. I am learning new ways of looking at life and new ways of tackling tasks that I wouldn’t have done in the past. I once again ask that you pray for my teammates, for them to be strong through this portion of this journey because I know how stressful is can be. If you aren’t religious, like me I just ask that you keep them in your thoughts. I know that probably not many people are reading this and that is totally ok. But for those of you who are I appreciate you.
I have posted about this on about every source of social media that I have and the support that I have gotten thus far is unexplainable. I am in tears right now because my friends are so loving. I am pretty sure that I have said that about 70,000 times on my blog now but ITS TRUE. What would I do without them? I don’t even like to think about that possibility because I know that the answer to that question is crash and burn.
Thank you for reading this little spiel. Once again I appreciate you all. GOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
