It's getting closer....

Hello!  Sorry it has been so long again!  I guess since the weather is getting nicer, I don't have a lot of time to sit down and blog:)  I'm definitely not complaining!  Well, last Saturday I successfully ran from my house in Grand Rapids, to my parents house in Hudsonville - a total of 18 miles!!  It was awesome, it was a sunny day and just a little chilly - the way I like it:)  I was very sore afterwards though!  This weekend will be 19 miles, I'm not sure about my route yet, but I might meet with the Riverbank group on Saturday at 8am at the Zoo.

Tomorrow is an exciting day!  At 10am I will be live on NPR with Shelley Irwin - you can check it out at wgvu.com.  I'm a little nervous, I'm not really a fan of being on the radio and/or television - but hopefully it will raise a little more awareness about what I am doing.

I received another donation of $75 in the mail this week!  Thank you!!!  I will add it to the total...I'm very pleased with how much money we are raising...it's a lot more than I thought I would be able to do.

A lot of people have been asking about how they can help with the Run/Walkathon, so here is the information:
Volunteers:
I still need 2 volunteers to run the aid station from 2-4pm; I need 3 volunteers to run the water station from 2-4pm; I need 2 volunteers to run the food station from 12-2, and another 2 volunteers for food station from 2-4.  I have split up the times for volunteering so that volunteers can also participate if they want to.  Let me know if you would like to volunteer by emailing me at ofoneheart@hotmail.com

Also - I am still in need of a few other things, they are:
double chafing dish - these are to help keep the hot dogs warm while they are being sold, I have 1 and it would be nice to have another.
Tents!!!  Not the kind you camp in:)  I am in need of some tents to add shade and protection from rain (if it rains) for the tables.
If you have either of these items and would not mind me borrowing them on Saturday, April 23, 2011, just email me at ofoneheart@hotmail.com

I have been going around to local businesses to find sponsors and donors for different items, this is what I have found so far:
Striders of Grandville - $25 Gift Card for prize winner
Branns of Grandville - 4 free 8 oz sizzler meals for prizes
Raap Signs of Coopersville - They are making all the signs we will need
Family Christian Bookstores - donated (5) 2011 Women's Daily Journal Devotionals for prizes
Papa's Dogs and More - selling hot dogs - $1 per hot dog going to Of One Heart
Dent - U - Center - Monetary donation

I am still looking for businesses and or companies that would like to be a part of this - if your business or company would like to help out, just email me at ofoneheart@hotmail.com

Thanks so much for reading!!!
