Hey all,
Sorry I've been bad about updating this, but here's what's going on:
Today I crossed over the $1000 barrier on fundraising and couldn't be more excited!
We have certain fundraising goals to meet along the way. Two months after being selected we were supposed to at least be at $500, so I'm well ahead of that.
What's really exciting is that at $1000 they send us the info so we can order our bikes, so hopefully within the next week I'll have that ordered.
I've distributed nearly all my t-shirts I've sold to friends and I've decided to pay for most of the shirts myself so that whatever people gave me for shirts will go directly to my account. In the end I should get nearly another $1000 from the t-shirts.
I feel a lot more comfortable about being able to raise all this money now than I did last week, so that's a plus!
In other news, I think I'm going to start swimming as cross training, because riding a stationary bike is quite boring and I'm not much of a runner. Hopefully I can fit time in a couple times a week until the weather warms up and I can actually get out and ride!
I have been absolutely amazed by the support I have received so far! I do not know if I will be able to properly express my gratitude towards family and friends thus far!
With each passing day I get a little more excited for the summer to come, I saw somewhere that everyone riding with Bike & Build this summer will add up to one million miles pedaled! That is totally amazing to me!
Thank you all, you are amazing!
-Jeff
