Hey y'all!
It's been a while since we last saw each other! There have been fall festivals & cat-stuff galore between posts, boy let me tell ya.
I got onto the front page of the Wise County Messenger which is some pretty sweet publicity & I've increased my social media followers to over 30,000 people!
Holy balloons!
Even with all that heat, the project didn't really take root like I had hoped or planned. Throughout the whole ordeal, I recieved ONE sponsorship and even THAT came from our senior volunteers, J.D. & Lisa Thompson, after I told them that I didn't have any sponsorships & they felt bad for me. Ooof.
I think all the stuff with sponsorships & t-shirts was too complicated & also times are tight. Let's not forget the fact that if people want to donate to CARE, they'll just donate to CARE. Either way, I'm doing the mudrun & I'm going to represent CARE, & if people want to donate to the facility because they heard of me doing ice-plunges & box jumps then so be it! I changed up the sponsorship section to a plain-jane donate section & that's that!
Speaking of box jumps, by the way, I slammed my opposite leg on the SAME concrete culvert during workouts the other day (not parkour!) I didn't need stitches, but my initial thought was, "Not again!!!"
I'm doing the mudrun in two weeks, I'm scared as hell, but I said I was going to do it, and I'm going to do it.
Woot.
