Thats right folks! I a FULLY FUNDED. I am totally shocked and overjoyed that my goal was met before month one of my race!
Fundraising is the most unique, weird, awkward, tough, and rewarding experience. I have been so encouraged, supported, and uplifted by those of you who have chosen to take part!
So here is a shout of to YOU. My supporters, encouragers, bucket filler-uppers, sweet-letter writers, prayer warriors, and pep talkers. I appreciate your wisdom and support, and know I would have not been able to do any of this without YOU.
Here is a little list of what helped me get to my goal:
1 amazingly supportive family (thanks mom, dad, sis)
95 mugs made and sold
35 shirts sold
1 pancake breakfast (23 amazing helpers)
4 anonymous donations
5 monthly donors
145 one time donors
7 chalkboard signs – made and sold
250 wedding envelopes- calligraphy/addressed
55 calligraphy pieces created and sold
1 women’s Retreat
32 notes of encouragements
3 patient roommates who allowed mugs to swarm the house
1 amazing friend who was my personal REI shopper and saved me some serious money
25 generous vouchers who gave up a Saturday morning to flip pancakes and sell my artwork
5,367 pep talks
10,098 prayers (and counting)
Thank you!! I believe this is your trip too, and you are just as much a part of this wild journey as I am. God is using us all to spread love and freedom and I literally can not be more excited about it.
So cheers to us all! We hit our financial goal, and now its time to see God continue to amaze us in His work!! Are you ready for this!?!
Blessings,
Marsh
