I emailed all my work friends today to remind them about my upcoming run and to ask them to donate to my Run for a Cure. I received a few more generous donations from my co-workers (a.k.a. my second family!). But one message in particular caught my eye.
My friend Melanie grew up in Davis, CA, a couple hours outside of Napa where my cousin currently lives, and where I will be staying during race weekend. Her family owns a farm there - The Collins Farm - and they will be having a blackberry festival during the weekend of the race that they invited us to. Unfortunately, it's the same evening as our inspirational pasta party, so I let them know that we are unable to attend.
Donate today at bit.ly/ashleytarbet! |
With this encouragement, I am one giant step closer to reaching my fundraising goal and getting us to
Napa for the Wine Country Half Marathon! Please consider donating today to help me reach 75% so the Collins Farm match will get me to my goal!
I have to say that I am continually surprised my the generosity of human beings, and feel extremely grateful to have such loving and supporting friends, family, and co-workers. Thank you to all of you for your continued support - 13.1 or bust!
Run strong,
ashley
