Fundraising Update
I am continually blown away by the support everyone has shown! As of right now, I am 34% funded for my trip!
With deadlines approaching fast I have right at $3,000 more to raise to let me be allowed to launch with my team on June 4th!
Launch and training camp will take place in Georgia from June 4th – June 15th. When we leave from Georgia we will be going to our first stop, Guatemala!

I still have a few Pura Vida bracelets left ($10 minimum donation)
My girl, Kenlie, is in the process of making me some pretty sweet stickers for you car, laptop, water bottle, wherever your heart desires ($5 minimum donation)
Adopt-A-Box boxes are still available. Box # = $ amount (and that Kendra Scott box has not been claimed yet!)
“Change” the world jars, I will give you a jar, or if you have one lying around your house feel free to throw your spare change in there! Every penny counts!
One last thing, I usually have anywhere from 500-800 views on my blogs. Imagine if every time I posted a blog leading up to the race people donated just $1 of support. (Did you do the math? Is your mind blown yet? Because mine is!)

I cannot thank everyone enough for the support and love I have been shown on this journey. But I do know one thing if you follow Gods calling great things are ahead! Through the hardest sacrifices I have had to make to be able to follow what God has so heavily laid on my heart, I know deep down that the outcome is going to be well worth heartaches now! Not going on vacations with my friends, selling my brand new car, finding Winnie a home, living at home, working 3 jobs, just a few sacrifices I have happily and not so happily committed to. (Y’all, letting Winston go was the hardest thing I have had to do in this process. While I miss his fluffy orange butt running down the stairs every time I come home I know that he should not have been the root of my happiness, only God can fill these voids! While I am only on day 3 of no Wins his absence only makes me want to seek the Lord more.)
Most important: please still be praying for me and my team as we prepare to leave.
