Just because I am on sick leave from the biking challenge, it doesn’t mean that I am doing nothing. My little brain is working real hard on trying to figure out more ways of raising money, and I have come up with at least one idea (what it is you will find out in a near future). I am also chasing people to help us put the word out there by pressing like on the Facebook page, 65 this far, and spread the word about this blog.
By the end of the day, raising enough money to start a memorial fund for our dad isn’t enough. If no one knows about the disease then how would anyone know to apply for grants from the fund in order to do research? So this is also about getting the word out there, that there is an evil disease out there that can kill, the more people who hear about it the better! Thus, even if you don’t have any money to share, your like on the Facebook page, or you sharing the blog posts that we put on the blog, mean just as much!
One of the things that I am doing is chasing famous people on twitter and that have blogs of their own, to get them to spread the word. I know it’s a long shot and that they get queries from so many people, however if I don’t try it wont happen!
Do you have any good ideas on what we can do to get more attention to the blog? Or do you have any good ideas on how we can raise more money?
I will also continue the chase of pictures of me and my sister together, I think it would be nice for everyone to know who is behind this blog, especially the people that now support us but have never met us in person. Here is one for example, I am the one on the left!
