Well here we are a little less than 2 months till marathon day and a little less than 1 month till fundraising deadline; and we have far exceeded both the original $12,200 goal set out for us and have now just surpassed the $15,200 goal we set for ourselves!! There are still a few more donations coming in and we still have our beer draw. We have received a cheque for $2500 from an unamed source who agreed to match a percentage of funds I raised personally. This is our single largest donation we have received. The feeling of being able to raise so much money for such a good cause is almost indescribable. Maybe we'll be able to hit $16,000 before we leave (we'll see). We are noticing that our fundraising efforts are tapering off and we are concentrating more on our training right now (okay, well not this week as we are both sick with a nasty cold). Yes, it caught up to Mike too. Hopefully by the weekend we'll be back to our healthy selves and can resume training.
Only 56 more days till we leave for Iceland. Awesome. Thank you to everyone who has donated financially, those who donated prizes or other items for our fundraisers, and those who have been so supportive of us over the past few months. Thank you to those who stop by and read our blog and to those who post words of encouragement too! We appreciate it all very much!!
