Dear Friends,
I'll start this message first and foremost with
honesty...I am writing to politely ask for donations. If you don't continue
reading, I'll understand. But if you do, it will be for a good reason.
Many of you who know me know that my body has been
through a lot over the past few years. It's been quite a journey, and after
having a Hysterectomy; I'm finally back on the mend and feeling like myself again.
Going forward, instead of focusing negatively on my body
image and making everything about losing weight, my goal this year is to simply
enjoy the life I have been given.
This summer I will take part in a 24 hour cycling event
to benefit cancer research. I want to ride in honor of those who can no longer
enjoy their lives. I am currently committed to raising $400, and my personal goal is to ride as many miles as I physically can, and to GO
until my body tells me NO!
Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising
goal.
As a side goal, I also have a friendly competition
going with my husband. Whoever raises more money gets to pick some sort of
silly costume that the 'loser' has to wear for 3 laps. Please also consider donating if you'd like to see him in Fairy Wings and a Tutu!
