Which Charity to Choose

I’m determined to participate in some type of charity event in the coming year. I think I’ve got it narrowed down to 5 possibilities: The Breast Cancer 3 Day, Race for the Cure, TNT for Lymphoma and Leukemia, Walk for MS, and March of Dimes.

My #1 choice is The Breast Cancer 3 Day. I have tried it once and really want to accomplish this challenging feat of raising the money. My mom thinks it’s a ridiculous requirement. I don’t know. I think it could be achieved if I start now–10 1/2 months in advance.

I’m not real savvy on organizing for these events. Some people really do well at it. If you’re reading out there, and you have some experience, PLEASE SHARE! Should I start with a small fund-raiser and work up to the challenge? Should I take on more than one? I’m a newbie at this. Any suggestions are welcome!

Breast Cancer 3 Day 2008!

I’m contemplating giving the Breast Cancer 3 Day another try in 2008. I registered for the 2007 walk and failed to raise the required funds to participate in the walk. Perhaps by signing up now for the next year I can achieve my goal and join the walk. The first day is on hubby’s b-day. Not sure how I feel about that, but maybe he will turn a new leaf and join me!

So, if I decide once again to participate, I will post my intent here and be actively chronicling my progress. I’m excited to get to work fundraising. I learned some lessons this past year about the walk and how to raise the funds. I’m sure I will be able to make it happen in 2008. I love being a part of such important causes!
