14 1/2 Weeks till the Big Day

Wow....Time is flying by. We have our first big fundraiser coming up in 4 days. We've got our fingers crossed that we'll have a great turnout, that everyone will have a great time and that we'll raise some decent money towards our fundraising goal. I hope everything goes fairly smoothly for this weekends festivities. It's our first time planning a big event (together or otherwise).

Last week we managed to log a fair amount of kilometers! I logged 38km and Mike logged 41km. Not bad for a weeks worth of work. This week should be about the same given that we have the tournament taking up most of our weekend. Our goal is to make sure we at least fit in Sunday's long run/walk after the Tournament is done.

Not only are the kilometers trained adding up, but so is the money raised!! Just got a few more $50 donations this past week. Still lots of people on our list to hit up. I'm finding that we ask a couple of people every few days and more than not, we are lucky enough to receive more donations. Still a ways to go to reach our total target between the two of us, but it's coming along! Hopefully after the 2 fundraisers this weekend (Mike's dad is also hosting a Golf Tournament on our behalf on Saturday) we will be closer to our target. Soon we will start hitting up our friends and family. My parents have been really supportive and are also hitting up all of their friends!! Thanks you two! We really appreciate the support.

Stay tuned.......
