I just got an email that my original St. Jude fundraising goal of $8,000 has been met in just nine days!
My goal was to raise $1,000 for every year of our oldest son’s life, to honor what he has been through and the progress he continues to make. I think it’s awesome that we hit the goal so quickly.
A deep thank you to everyone has donated so far. It’s humbling and encouraging to see so many names on that fundraising page.
It means the world to me, my family, and family like ours. That’s why I want to keep going. Last year, we raised nearly $20,000. I’d love to do it again. I’m raising money as part of a team, and we have a ways before we hit the group goal.
Every dollar is a symbol of hope in the fight against childhood cancer.
