Since July 20 I have run another 48,000 steps toward my goal of 1,000,000 by the end of this year to raise money and awareness for the Journey of Hope Grief Support Center! That brings my total to 514,000 steps with only 486,000 to go by year's end! Barring unforeseen injury or illness, I should make it! Along with the 500 miles to run, I have committed to donate $500 ~ one dollar for each mile run ~ to the Journey of Hope! That amount will be a part of what I hope will be One Million Dollars donated to the Journey of Hope, One Dollar at a Time, One Person at a Time!
In light of the economy, I have revised my goal a bit for 2009! I would like to raise a minimum of $50,000 by the end of this year on my way to the total of one million dollars in time. I am not abandoning the goal of one million dollars, I am merely cutting it up into manageable bites. People seem better able to wrap their minds around say $50,000 than a million.

This One in a Million Campaign CAN happen! It's really very simple! All you have to do is go to the site listed above, donate just one dollar to the Journey of Hope, then ask ten of your friends to do the same with the request to duplicate the giving and asking on the exact same scale! All we need is a little spark to start a wildfire of participation!
I'm very hopeful that you will consider joining in on the fun!
