Hang in there Heather. Just keep telling yourself that EVERY little bit helps! You've got a good total so far. I was helping with registration at our first walk, a few weeks ago. I have to admit I was surprised at how many people turned in less than $100. So, I think you're doing great.
We will do our second (and last for the year) walk this weekend. I lose track of how much I've turned in for each of us and for each walk...but between my husband and I (and Isabelle who raised $128 on her own!!!!) we are at approximately $7,000. Most of that is from our Improv Comedy/Silent Auction event. About $550 is from my school's jeans for genes day, and we've raised about $600 on line. I have a couple of real go-getters on my team this year, so I think when all is said and done we'll be at about $10,000.
I was very touched this year that my school staff formed a team of their own. They have about 20 walkers and set their goal at $2,000. They are having a very good time with a friendly competiton.
Many of Emily's daycare friends' families are walking with us too, as are all of her daycare teachers. Their support and fundraising efforts have been AMAZING!!!
Good luck to all the Great Striders out there! And, THANK YOU ALL!
