I’m almost at my $100,000.00 goal!!!!!!

May 24, 2010 · Filed under Uncategorized

So like a year ago I set this ridicules goal of riding my bike across America and raising $100,000.00. I didn’t really realize how much a $100,000.00 was until I started helping my parents and team raise it. There have been times that I have thought “what was I thinking” both about the riding and the fundraising. Thankfully my Mom or Dad was always there to remind me that giving up is not an option. Today when I got home from school my parents sat me down and said that all the fundraising our team has done so far has been added up. When they told me we were in the $80,000.00 range I was shocked.  Then I thought about all the hard work our whole team has been doing to help me. There is NO WAY I could have done it without their help. I just want to thank them today and let them know I really appreciate them. Thanks guys! We are almost there.

    Hey Connor – that is AWESOME! Incredible. So proud of you – keep training. I know you got enough motivation and inspiration last week to carry you to the East Coast.

    WAY TO GOOOOOOO Team!!! Set your goals, keep working at them, never lose faith…and just look what you have accomplished!! And you know what Connor?? The dollars raised are just a drop in the bucket… you probably don’t even realize how many people (of ALL ages) that you inspire with your journey!

    Love and kudos to all!!

    Also, I’m not sure i your mom told you but one of the people who attended the spaghetti feed got a call while he was sitting in his chair during dialysis, that he has a living kidney donor and they are a perfect match!!! He has been on dialysis for several years and this will give him his life back. His biggest frustration is not being able to play with his grand daughters or even follow them around. Hopefully that will all change soon!!!
