So this week I’m not making much progress on consistent running. It seems that everyday I’m working late. Lack of running progress aside I am making progress on the fund raising side. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the GM of Claudaugh. To talk about using their restaurant for a fundraising happy hour. At work we’re doing a pool. $20 per person to guess the weight of my as yet unborn son. $10 goes to the fund and $10 to the winner. If everyone enters we will raise about $600 for Leukemia Society.

I also sent out emails to ask people for donations to the fund. We have some money that we’re waiting on from some corporate sponsors but I’m going to start making calls to local companies. I think it’s really easy to call these places. One of my co-workers is practically a professional fund raiser and she’s going to be helping me out with the effort.

It’s exciting to start getting some momentum towards this. When you start looking at all of the different activities you realize how easy it is actually raise the money.
