Leaning on Some Friends I Know

Hi IRONFRIENDS! Can you believe that we are about 5 months our from IRONMAN Mont Tremblant? The entire experience for training for another IRONMAN has had it's up's and down and I am so happy to be here and in great spirit. I have an amazing support team behind me (all of you) and I am so grateful to share the mission of TNT and the fight for a cure. I owe a huge THANK YOU to all of you for tipping me over the half way mark to $5000!! You are all amazing and I appreciate you!

Let me tell you a little about what I've been up to- last week I had the opportunity to return to Louisville and the home of my first IRONMAN. It was so re-energizing to be there and I just completely took it in. I ran the swim and the run course (photos below) and had a blast. I will definitely be going back to Louisville in 2015 to conquer that course now that I understand a little more about the demand of an August race in the dead heat like that. And I am pleased to say that I found the Churchill Downs (since I missed it at IMLOU)!

Thank You!

 Fundraising is hard, right? i find myself being stressed out over it sometimes because the goal I have set out fort seems like alot, and many of my friends and family have already donated.

I owe a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our event this weekend at Priors Tap and Tavern. We ended up raising almost $700 towards my Team in Training goal for IMMT!  Also THANKS to everyone who purchased from the 31 party that we had. That event brought in $190 in fundraising PLUS over $300 worth of product that was used for the raffles at the Priors event! The basket auction was a huge success bringing in the bulk of the cash and the 50/50 raffle also went over extremely well! Priors was also great in that they donated 10% of food and drink sales to us! Huge shout out to my friend Rachel for organizing it!

We plan to have another event there in April which will be a tournament style event with the same basket type auction and 50/50 raffle. To gear up for the next event too we are hosting another 31 party with a $1200 selling goal to get over $500 in free product for the basket raffles!!

We've been raising alot of awareness to TNT and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but there's still more to do! Thanks for being here!
