Sending 1st email today...

Today I'm going to send my 1st email out to friends and family, asking for donations. I hope it's received well. I've written it, edited it, edited it some more. My website is ready, our blog is up, it's Go Time. I'm a little nervous - $2900 is a lot of money to raise, but I'm confident we can do it. J and I have many plans to make sure we meet our fundraising minimum. It'll just take some work. Heck, we already both beat cancer, what's a little marathon compared to that? And if we can do a Marathon, something most people never do in their lives, then we can raise some money. That should be the easy part!

I hope my family reads my blog. I hope they donate. I'm so ready to do this. Not only have I signed up to do this Marathon, but I've signed up for belly dancing classes and John and I are signed up for Salsa classes too. I'm tired of all this extra weight that I put on after getting sick. Signing up for this marathon has been the most exciting, motivating thing I've done in a long time.
