Monday, December 03, 2007 Make A Difference Monday: When Mother Nature Intervenes


December 1 had been marked down on my calendar for weeks. Although my personal running training took a hiatus as the month of November swept me away with mom's move and other projects, I vowed to run (or at least walk-run) in the Wondergirl 5K on Dec 1. This event benefited the Johnson County, IA chapter of Girls on the run, and not only did I register, I joined as a Team Tiara member to raise money.
And with your help, raise money we did!
Although the ice storm prevented me from driving to Iowa City that day to actually run, I did turn in all my funds on Saturday. We raised $265! Thank you!!!!! That just exceeded my goal of $262.00, and I couldn't have done it without you. For a small chapter like that, the fund raising was a huge success, and I'm sure the money will be put to a good cause.
So today, on this Make a Difference Monday, I just want to say thank you! Because of your generosity, we will have made a difference in the lives of young Iowans.
Thank you!
