I’m am so thrilled to announce that I have reached my fundraising goal of $1000 for the Vermont Respite House Jiggety Jog 5k!
I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the donations pouring in from friends, family, coworkers and bloggers. The Respite House is a truly special place, and this money is well-deserved.
Now that I’ve reached my fundraising goal, I feel like I can really relax and enjoy this race. Unfortunately, the weather for Saturday isn’t looking so great right now–70s and rainy. Booo. I’m still excited, though. My parents will be coming and this is the first time they’ve ever seen me race. It’s also my birthday weekend (!!) so my energy is bound to be really positive.
This is turning out to be a really awesome week here on Darlin’ Rae!
Are you racing this weekend?
Do your parents/family ever come watch you race?
I am loving all this awesome news on your blog! Congratulations on hitting that huge goal!
This weekend I am not racing, but next weekend I am. And actually I think my brother is going to come watch me run!
It’s always much more fun when you’ve got people you love cheering you on, isn’t it? 😀
Congrats on reaching your fundraising goal!! 🙂
My parents have come to a few of my races. It’s great having the support, and knowing they’re in the crowd is motivation to run, instead of walking like I tend to want to do!
Absolutely! My fiance was at my last race so I knew I had to smile when I crossed the finish line.
Congrats on the fund raising!!!
My parents have never seen me race… always makes me sad. Its not like they live far – they live 3 miles from me.
Aww, that’s really sad! Mine live 2.5 hours away so at least they have an excuse. Do you have anybody else to come cheer for you?
Woo! Great job! You are killing it right now! My mom comes to my big races: she was there, and participated in some of, my first half marathons, and she was there for my marathon. Alex has only seen me race once–the day we moved to Chicago!
Congrats. I nominated you for a Liebster Award!
Hey, thank you so much! 😀
Congrats! I’ve just started my fundraising so I have quite a bit to go! Enjoy the race : )
P.S. – I loe the design/ colors of your blog!
Thank you! Best of luck to you in your fundraising–it’s very exciting to raise money for a good cause 🙂
Congrats on reaching your goal! Happy running and blogging and keep up the good work!
