As most of you already know, I have to raise $15,500 to be a part of the World Race. So far, I haven't even made a dent in it. I still have 7 months before I leave, and would love to be fully funded before I go! Fundraising is such a daunting task, and it's going to take a lot of time and commitment on my part, but I'm ready to get this ball rolling & I need your help!
There are many ways that you can help me through this process.
PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION!
Whether it be a one-time donation, or a monthly gift in the amount you choose.
You can make donations to help fund my Race online; right here on my blog page! Just click the 'Support Me' tab on the left-hand side of the page.
My gear, passport, travel expenses to and from training camp, & international health insurance are a few of the things that aren't covered in this cost. I am committed to saving as much of my own money as possible to cover these things, but ask you to prayerfully consider donating!
You can find all of my gear needs at www.MyRegistry.com/public/Melissa-Fortino
Thank you all in advance for your financial support. (:

SEND ME YOUR FUNDRAISING IDEAS!
Have a connection that could help my fundraising efforts? Have some fundraising ideas that worked well for you in the past? Send 'em my way. I can always use new and creative ideas!
SPREAD THE WORD!
Help me spread the word about where God is taking me by sharing my blog page on your favorite social networking site! Tell your friends, your friends friends, your Mom… JUST TELL SOMEBODY! (:
PRAY FOR ME!
Would you add me to your prayer list? I ask that you please take time to pray for me before, during and after my Race; that my financial, emotional and spiritual needs be met. Prayer is so powerful! And so much appreciated! (:
If there is any way that I can repay you for all of your ideas, fundraising help and support, please let me know! I'd like to return the favors!
Thank you all for being a part of my Race!
God bless! xoxo
