The JDRF Walk for a Cure is coming up quick in my state... and maybe yours too! I am excited to be volunteering for the event and am looking for sponsor to meet my personal goal of raising $1000 towards a cure.
If you can't participate in your area for some reason... you can still help! Simply copy and paste the address below in your address bar and make a donation today! Every dollar helps!
My walk was in April. We had a wonderful turn out. It is so amazing to see all the people walking I mean you just look back and see people for miles and you look ahead and see people for miles. It is so amazing! I hope you get alot of donations! I'm sure you'll get to your goal. My family's goal was $500 and we passed that goal by a landmark! We ended up raising over $2000. People are generous when it comes to something like this. Best of Luck to you! Oh and have FUN!!!!
Thanks! I am excited. I just got my first donation from an old high school friend! I just posted it today on Facebook... so I'm excited to see what happens. I'm also going to approach my gym owner to see if I can post something there to raise funds! I'm volunteering this week to get things ready for the walk and on Thursday they are having a luncheon that I am helping with as well. Should be fun!
Good luck with your walk.. We had so much fun at ours.. I donated to your site on behalf of www.teamcharleigh.com . C'mon juvenators... IF everyone just donates 5$, That would be huge.
P.S. I'll be hitting you guys up for it around January.. :p
Thanks you sooo much for your donation. It actually brought a tear to my eye to think someone I don't even know was willing to help out. WOW! I'm sure the walk will be fun. I keep posting on Facebook as well. Hopefully more people will start chipping in. Love your daughter's name by the way... very cute! She is too!
Our support group has a team going, but I got impatient, and started up my own team early. I cried with the first donation to us, which was actually from someone on my Relay for Life team. My dad emailed my letter to a bunch of friends and they have all been donating like crazy. In the past 6 days, we have already made $270.00. I asked that each person, even if unable to donate money, please send the email on. This has happened, and I am getting donations from complete strangers, which still makes me really emotional. I just wish I had their addresses so I could send them a thank you. You never know when that one dollar might be the last dollar needed.
Best of luck to everyone and their teams! I can't wait to hear how everyone did!
We are doing our first walk this November for my son who was diagnosed 2 years ago. I posted our fundraising page on Facebook and been amazed at the response. So far, all our donations have come from people I knew in high school (by the way, that was 25 years ago!!) and their friends (people I don't even know). What is overwhelming to me, is these people weren't my close friends just people I knew. Very touching!
Ok... quick update... Have raised 25% of my goal of 1000 dollars! Yea!!! I'm really excited. I figure I should have no problem reaching my goal. Tomorrow, it's off the gym to start selling "sneakers"...Thanks everyone for your support.
my walk is october 4th in illinois. i cant wait. well there is 4 other diabetes walks in illinois that day. i cant wait. i am pumped even though only one of my friends is going. i did a cancer walk the 26th(my half birthday) but i am way more pumped for something i can relate to. =)
This year I have been striking otu big time amongst my family and friends. More so my facbook profile and pleas has been relatively low so far. I am going on an aggressive stance myself at this point to get things going. It seems that this year people are just being more tight with their money.
