Day Three of...98 Days

The plan is in the making and we know the reality of raising $50,000.00 in a condensed two month period beginning February 18th will be challenging.  But anything is possible as long as the determination and reason for making the impossible happen.

Our inspiration is the drive of Tressa who when first starting her fight in April was having trouble keeping her fever down, cooling blankets were used so she could be given blood.  Her white cell hovered around 400, less then a fraction of the norm which is between 5,000-10,000.  The battle had begun in earnest. Tressa  was in pain and a lot of it.  It was a very tough time for her. She lost a lot of weight but she fought hard through that month and she rebounded to the point of going home.  So ended round one.

And this is round one of the fund-raising and we are ready for the fight to find the cure:

  • Letter Writing: how many letters do we send what do we expect to receive
  • Auction Items: where can we get them and which events do we use them for
  • Events:  what events can we do that others would pay to come to
  • Corporate Sponsorships and Donations: which companies do we approach
  • Personal Donations: reaching out to all networks
  • Create a unique fund-raising aspect one that will keep on giving long after the campaign has stopped
We have to put dollars to each idea and reach what we think we can which needs to total $50,000.00!  So the plan raise the money for research and to find a cure! It's time.
