There are 10 weeks and 5 days until the Ride to Cure Diabetes, but only 4 weeks until Elma and I have to make the final decision whether we'll have to drop out of the ride because we haven't been able to raise the minimum $2000 in donations each participant is required to raise.
I still need to raise $500, which may not seem like much, but it's about $425 more than I have. I'm a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and in general we make barely enough to keep a roof over our heads and food in our family's bellies.
In 5 hours Elma and I are having a Ride to Cure bake sale, the money we make will be divided between our individual rides, which is only fair since she's worked as hard on the preparation as I have.
I hope all our friends in the area will come show their support. We have lots of things to offer with prices ranging from 25 cents to $10.
One of my D-Mom friends recommended that I also have a "Virtual Bake Sale" for all my friends and family who would like to help our fundraiser be a success even though they can't physically attend...so that's what I'm going to do.
Below is a price list for my virtual bake sale, if you want to help me be able to participate in the Ride to Cure just pick out what you would have bought if you could, then donate that amount at my Ride to Cure participant's page. I'll post a link at the bottom of this page. The best part of participating in a virtual bake sale? NO CALORIES!!!
