When I walked my first 3 Day last year I was concerned. I had planned a few fundraisers but none of them panned out. I wasn't sure how I would raise the money. I talked to a friend and she gave me the BEST advice just pray about it. She told me God would provide, and she was right. I trained and I prepped myself for three of the greatest days of my life. Then a week before I left my oldest daughter got sick. I still had over $700 to raise and was spent. I had no idea who would send the emails, make the posts on Facebook, and keep annoying (in a loving way of course) everyone. Again I heard the words from my friend God will provide.
While I was in the hospital with my daughter it was like my friends took over. They sent out the emails, posted, reposted, and kept reposting on Facebook. They knew how much this journey ment to me. I left for the 3 Day last year still needing around $100. The morning of the first day I received the amount I needed and a little more. God did provide.
This year I am walking again (hoping to walk two). I began fundraising much earlier and have had one event tank on me. While I was upset I went back to those words God will provide. Again, they are true. The first walk I signed up for is in Dallas (in Nov of 2011). I am just $728 away from meeting my goal. Friends have come together in ways I never knew possible. I am so thankful for each donation. EVERY DOLLAR counts there is no amount to small. I will never be able to say thank you to everyone enough. It is because of you all that I can do this. NONE of this would be possible without the amazing support from friends (and complete strangers).
The whole point behind this post was to say Thank You!!! I believe that if I can reach the first $2,300 by mid March I will have enough time to raise enough funds for the second event. I know that if it is God's will he will provide. All I have to do is be ready to go if and when it happens. So again, I encourage you to remember that even when things seem hopeless if you believe in what you are doing ANYTHING is possible. Thanks everyone again so much!!!!!
