Since August 3 I have run another 72,000 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 586,000 steps with only 414,000 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!
Enough about me! I am excited to announce a new partnership in my efforts to meet my financial goal for the Journey of Hope! If you've not heard of Twitter yet, I can honestly say that it is one of the most profoundly useful social media tools I've found! I have met some amazing folks on Twitter! One of those is a lady named Sandy Fowler! She has so many wonderful things going on that I can hardly keep up with her! To make a long story short, he husband coaches recreational runners ~ from folks just getting started all the way to folks running marathons! Anyway, they approached me with an extremely generous and unique idea!
Tom Fowler and DIYRunning have volunteered to donate a portion of the revenue generated through his coaching materials offered online to the Journey of Hope! I invite you to visit two sites. One is the main DIYRunning site. On this site, they have dedicated 10% of all revenues generated through Thanksgiving to the Journey of Hope! Cool! On anther page created by them just for the One in a Million campaign, they have dedicated 25% of all revenues generated from this site to the Journey of Hope! Very cool!
Here are the sites: www.diyrunning.com for the main site of DIYRunning. The one dedicated to the One in a Million campaign is http://bit.ly/37l5pc Please visit the sites and encourage all your running buddies to do the same! This is amazing synergy!
In order to donate to the Journey of Hope directly, please visit http://tinyurl.com/dxld8r
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!
Are you a runner or walker and would like to use your physical activity to raise money for a worthy cause? Then email me and we can get you started!
Do you coach or know the coach of a high school cross country team? I am now recruiting cross country teams to join in the effort to raise money and awareness for the Journey of Hope!

Won't you join us?
Thanks and . . . Peace!
