I don't know if any of you know Mrs. Lauren Jastremski. If you don't, you should. She is a former Dallin teacher that I have had the pleasure to get to know over the past 6 years with my work through the Relay For Life. She is a fantastic woman full of wonderful ideas. She sent me this message on facebook this morning.
"Okay....I am not sure if I have already suggested this to you. I will pledge 1 dollar for every pound that you lose up until the day of the RFL and donate it to Bianchi's Buddies in memory of your Dad. From that time forward until your wedding, I will pledge 1 dollar per pound and donate it to any charity that you designate. Sooooo 2 things...How much do I owe so far? AND....why not use this idea as an incentive/fundraiser idea? You could post your progress monthly for the next 3 months at least."
So in honor of my weight loss of 25+ pounds, I am asking my followers to donate $25 to one of the following charities.

Donate a $25 membership to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. Pull down the "It just takes one" and donate $25 (that is the cost of one child for a one year membership)

I hope that you all can help me help others while helping myself (if that even made sense.) The Relay for Life and the Arlington Boys & Girls Club are two charities that I hold near and dear to my heart. Think about helping create a world with my birthdays by donating to the Relay For Life . Or give a child a year full of exercise, good health and support with a donation of a membership. Either way YOU are changing the life of someone!
Thank you Mrs. J for being such an inspirational person in my life!
