Day 67 of...98 Days...Overnight Success

Haven't you heard the expression before that oh he or she was an overnight success and look how easy it was for them?  They are so lucky. Well I think if you heard the back story of any "Overnight Success" you would learn there was so much blood sweat and tears that went unnoticed.  The hours and hours of work behind the scenes yet convincing the world it was easy.  At times as they went down that road there were significant moments when they were ready to throw in the towel and then with some force unbeknown to them they just kept on pushing through the hardest part and on the other side they emerged stronger.

Today that happened for our fund-raising campaign to fund research and find a cure for blood cancer.  We presented every imaginable off the wall promotion to every type of available venue and possible promoter and we couldn't seem to get anything off the ground.  Everyone was gracious and wished us luck but felt time was too short to pull it off.  We are looking at only 4 weeks left and not much time but today it all changed we received a call.  The call that said yes come in we believe in the fund-raising campaign and we want to support your efforts for funding research and finding a cure for blood cancer.  We couldn't believe it. We have no firm date in April yet and I can't announce anything but this could make all the difference in helping raise the much needed donations.

So check back and I'll share the news as soon as it becomes final.  And when someone says what an overnight success you had in the campaign and we were lucky you'll know better.  I have the other 66 blogs to show nothing comes without hard intense work, deep frustration but we kept pushing because somewhere when all signs point to impossible we still wanted to believe.  It's the dedications, its Tressa and others who have lost the fight to blood cancer that kept us going at times when there was nothing left in the tank.  And we kept believing in people like you and hoped somehow we would have a breakthrough and someone could help us with an event that would support this campaign so we would not lose another life to this devastating disease.
