How do you spell success? 60 B4 60!!!!!
Hello Blogland:
After a few weeks away I am back with another post.
I just want to let everyone out there know how fortunate I have been to be at a point where I can say I have reached my fundraising goal. Okay, in reality it is my “new / second” fundraising goal.
When I was first accepted as a 2009 National Rider my biggest challenge was thinking about whether or not I would be able to reach the expected fundraising goal of $25,000.00 for each of the riders. I recall saying I could not be certain that I could reach it, and yet I would do my best.
Well, thanks to my family and to my many friends and supporters I had surpassed (and doubled) the expected goal before the ride started. At that time I had raised over $50,000.00, and so my next goal was “60 before 60”. This, in reality meant that I was trying to hit the $60,000.00 mark before my 60th birthday on August 9th.
I am happy to say that I did it. More accurately WE did it; because it was an effort that was successful thanks to all my friends, family and co-workers. I hit the goal on my actual birthday.
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!
