i am in utter shock as i sit here, because i didn't even think that hitting the $1,000 goal that i set for our team was POSSIBLE. i was FURIOUS at myself during the hullabaloo of my birthday party because i put the walk and all thoughts of it on the backburner.
but now, with 2 days left til the walk, we have officially raised over $2,500!!!! that is more than DOUBLE what i had hoped for! my dear friend, ilyssa, who is like a sister to me, has raised over $1,000 HERSELF!!! how amazing is that? and storage deluxe, andy's company, has donated $1,000! friend's of juliet from school have donated over $100!! john hancock, my sister amie's company, even matched her donation. for the record, the agency i work for, theracare, has a team, so no matching donations for us! however, my good friend, samira, is a mother of 2 boys with autism...they are 2 of my favorite kids in this world, and i love them. she donated an amazing $200 to our team, which was words beyond generous. my family has gone above and beyond, joining the team, emailing everyone in the world that they know, and giving, giving, giving! it has been a really enlightening experience for me. i am pleased as punch to have the support of family and friends so that i can make such an impact in this cause.
and now i laugh, because while having a $2500 donation is amazing, the number one ranked westchester/fairfield team has raised $66,575. oh wait, no. the top walker raised that much. the team she is on, scarsdale c.h.i.l.d, raised $153, 511.00.
i am not kidding.
