You guys rock! (Thank you!)

Posted on May 7, 2008 1 Comment

I’m thrilled to say that I reached my fundraising goal of $300 for the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation with help from you guys. I didn’t originally post my fundraising link on Budgeting Babe because I wasn’t sure if that crossed a line or would be unwelcome, but consider the lesson learned: I will definitely share future fundraising opportunities with you — you guys put me over my goal (though it’s not reflected on the digital meter because I got a few checks).

Together, we raised $305.00 $325.

So without further ado, I’d like to thank my list of sponsors for the race and people who ran with me:

My sponsors:
Reader Jennifer M. (!) … thanks!
Mom & Dad
Uncle Jim
Bob and Kim
Trisha M.
Allison A.
Chandra L.
Desta D.
Nichole V.
Christina W.

And a special shout-out to the folks who ran with me:
Aunt Pam & Uncle Gabe
Megan W. (who happens to be a reader)
Carla R.

Now it’s onto training for the 1/2 marathon in September!

    As someone who has dealt with “digestive issues” for the past 18 years or so, one thing I can say for sure is: don’t underestimate the effect stress can have on your system. When I was at my most stressed out (for me, that was while I was in college trying to finish a 5 year degree in 4 years) I could barely go to a movie or restaurant without feeling like I needed to be within a few steps of a bathroom! My main problem is lactose-containing foods, but it’s funny how some days I can tolerate a little of them with no problem and some days the tiniest bit can set me off. The one good thing that has come out of it is that I went from being a very Type A personality to being more of a Type A-, and I’ve learned to let a lot more roll off my back. I’ve learned that there’s not much to worry about that is actually worth your health!

    Best of luck!
