2011 Race for the Cure

**REVISED on 10/12/11**

I removed the link to the Fundraising page for the Race for the Cure, see this blog post for explaination

--------------------------

I ran my first Race for the Cure 9 years ago and have participated every year since! This year's race is less than a month away and although I signed up for the race months ago, I haven't raised a dime or gotten a single person on my team yet. So, if you wanna help me catch up to my usual lofty goal of raising a grand, click here and donate. Click that same link if you'd like to join the team too.
I was actually considering not actually running this year and "sleeping in" for the cure instead. That means that I still pay my fee, get a t-shirt, raise money but sleep in instead of running (you can do that too folks... click that link up there) but because this is the first year that Brandi is gonna run it with me, I guess I'll do it.
Gotta run, need to go draft up an email begging everyone I know to donate some money :)

oh yeah, I should also mention that I donate 10% of the purchase price of every single handmade item that I sell all year long whether it be in my online shop, my other online shop or at local shows, so if you are thinking of buying handmade gifts this holiday, that is another way to support the Race for the Cure too.

Race for the Cure time again

Ok people... it is that time of year again!

The Race for the Cure is Saturday October 17, 2009

Last year I set a goal of having 10 team members and raise a grand. Last year I didn't get 10 people to attend the race with me (sadly, only two!) but somehow managed to raise well over a thousand dollars.

I like to be an over-achiever and try every year to do better than the year before but since we are in the middle of an "economic downturn" or whatever it is the politicians like to call it, I didn't raise my goal. I'm going to again shoot for raising a thousand dollars but work really really hard at actually getting 10 people to participate with me.

So far, there are 7 people signed up on my facebook page saying they are going to participate, but only 3 of those folks have actually registered for the race. We've raised $105 thus far.

Hopefully, I can meet my goals this year.
