And Now I Need Your Money

(Please be sure to read the inspiring comment that Julie left at the bottom of this posting.)

As I have shared before, my sister surprised everyone who knew her by training for a marathon.   She was never really an athletic person, but she got a good cause in her head and when that happens you can’t reason with her.   She decided to raise money to find a cure for cancer by participating in something called “Team in Training.”   Team in training is a non-profit group that raises money to find a cure for cancer by training and running marathons.   Ginny’s race is at the end of the month in San Francisco (the country’s hilliest city, by the way, which I find hysterical).

So this is my plea for money.   I have even broken it down into two different types of pleas, depending on what motivates you to give.

For Those Who Are Motivated By Goodwill and Heartfelt Goals:

Help support my sister, Ginny, as she selfishly puts aside her own self-interests of bar hopping and booty dancing to race for a cure.   All proceeds will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America whose ambitious mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the qualify of life for patients and families.   I’m sure if we all think hard, we know someone who has been effected in some way by one of these terrible diseases.   So, dig deep into your pockets and give – even just $10 – to help support those who are suffering or have suffered.   I promise that you’ll feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.

For Those of You Who Need a Practical Reason to Give:

My sister pledged $3,900 to this organization.   She currently has raised $2,714.50.   If she does not come up with the rest of the money, she can’t run the race.   So give to help my dumbass sister raise the ridiculous amount of money that she had obligated herself to raise.   Even giving as little as $10 to her cause will help her get closer to her unrealistic and wildly optimistic goal which she will most likely not meet.   Don’t worry, even if she does not raise the whole amount (which she probably won’t), your money will still go to the Society and my sister will just be stuck in Atlanta while everyone else on her team goes to California because they were more realistic in their goal-setting.   Bottom line:   Give $10 to support my idealistic, unrealistic, optimistic, dreamer of a sister who has a heart of gold.
