Ok - it's update time! Jo Anna is out of the hospital (has been for a while now) and doing great. She and I are filling out our paperwork this week for recommittment. For those of you who don't know what that is, it means we're promising to meet our fundraising goals of $2,940 each, if we don't, we're agreeing to pay the difference. Basically, we're putting our money where our mouths are. We have until October 3rd to meet our goals or we'll be charged the difference on a credit card. We will have until November 19th to continue to fundraise and reach our goals, and if we do we can get a refund on the charged amounts. So that's good. Still, the refund is a hassle so we're really working hard to reach our goals by 10/3.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us thus far. And if you haven't, it's not too late! You may have to copy/paste this, but here are our webpage links:

Donate to Jo Anna, she's got farther to go than I do...
We're doing a yard sale this weekend to fundraise, and our comedy event is on August 15th! We're super excited about that! We think we'll do really, really well that night. I'm emcee-ing and Jo Anna is performing, so it's going to be super cool! If you haven't received that flier email one of us and we'll send it to you. Bring friends! Only $10 to get in! :)
I did 5 miles this last weekend. Next weekend is 6 and before you know it, it'll be 10! That's the most we'll do in practice, then 13.1 at the marathon itself. Yikes! It's ok because I know we can do it. We have to. It's all about finding a cure, and if I have to walk 13.1 miles to raise money then so be it. I'm happy to do it.
More soon! Much love to everyone!
