Most of you know the 3rd annual Western Montana CF Walk is June 7, 2008. A big reason my mom and dad were driving up to Hamilton this month was to help me organize and grow this event. However, with me gone for three weeks in prime planning season and now I'm down two power-house volunteers, fundraising has not gone as well as planned. (Has anything gone as well as planned this month?) So the week before I left Idaho--my mom still wasn't as sharp as she is now--she said to me "Jill, get some paper. I have some business you need to take care of. The D Team is NOT coming in second place for the fourth year in a row. You need to figure out a plan to raise $7,000 in the next three weeks." Yikes. So the very next morning, on very little sleep, I sent out my personal fundraising letter campaign. I know many of my parents friends and family have already donated to them or to me, or both. But I thought I would send out one more push for just a $3 donation from you stragglers and see if we can take the trophy this year!!

My favorite quote from another CF parent was: "You may ask me what kind of person I am to keep asking for money year after year, and my answer is what kind of parent would I be if I didn't?" I will stop fundraising when there is a cure.
