It has been a little over a week since I announced my commitment to the McMinn Regional Humane Society. We have already hit $2300 in donations. That gets me excited. My brother Todd helped to design the logo you see above. My husband Charlie created a flyer for me to post around town. Eventually I will create an event page to spread the word and hopefully have some friends on board (virtually) to help me tackle the vEverest on Zwift on July 3.
My LBS, Scott's Bikes, has informed Saris about my event. I am hoping to secure a deal on a Saris H3 Smart Trainer. Initially, I was just going to use the shop's H3 the day of the event, but a cycling friend made me aware that in order to "unlock" the climbs on Zwift, I have to accumulate experience points. So I am gonna have to "pony up" and get on the Zwift wagon sooner than I expected to.
I have also emailed a potential major donor to match the private funds I have been receiving. Fingers crossed I hear back from her with pawsome news. I have another option or two, in case it doesn't happen. But this person does have a soft spot for shelter animals, so please, if you are reading this, consider this a great cause!
I am also working on some raffle items, for both cyclist and non-cyclist donors alike, in appreciation of your hard earned dollars.
If you have already donated, thank you!
And if you have not, please consider. Even if just a dollar ... in the end it all adds up. I am still one of those who picks up pennies in parking lots.
