I can't believe that we are already two weeks into November- where has this month gone? I have been busy fundraising and am happy to announce that, with the help of many of you, I have nearly doubled the amount raised since my last post! I am currently at $1,221 which not only beats the December 1st deadline, but also puts me under $300 away from receiving my 4k bike! So exciting! I wanted to take some time to show you the impact that you're making by supporting me and 4k for Cancer. Listed at the top of this post is a monetary breakdown of the services that we are helping provide for young people with cancer. So far, we've raised enough to help 40 patients get to treatment- that's pretty incredible! Every cent has truly made a difference in the lives of cancer patients and all donations have gone directly to supporting them through their treatment. As a group, the 2020 riders and runners have helped the Ulman Foundation raise over $100,000. This means that we have raised enough to start TEN Patient Navigation programs at different cancer centers- and we're just getting started! It is both inspiring and humbling to see the impact that our actions and efforts have already made. I think that sometimes, as an individual, it can feel like your actions won't make a difference to the "big picture". It can seem like making a small donation or sharing a fundraising post won't really have an impact. However, when you pair that action with the actions of others, you can see the huge impact that we are all making together. I want to thank each of you for your support. Whether you've shown up to a fundraiser, made a monetary donation or simply said that you were proud of me, you're the reason I am able to continue my journey with 4k for Cancer. You're the reason that the Ulman Foundation is able to provide support to young people with cancer. I can't seem to find the words that truly express my gratitude for the love and support I have received, but I truly appreciate each and everyone of you. I am hoping to keep the momentum moving and have $1500 raised by the end of the month and over $2000 raised by the end of the year. These feel like much more obtainable goals than they did a month ago and I'm excited to see the difference we continue to make. In case you hadn't seen, I am currently selling items through MN Brands for Good as a fundraiser- I will receive 40% of the profit from orders placed on or before 11/18. You can order products at: https://shop.mnbrandsforgood.com/. Make sure to select "YES" when asked if you are supporting a specific fundraiser. The group name is "4k for Cancer" and the seller name is "Lynsey Ihli". Many of their products would make the perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer and all items will be delivered by 12/9! As always, my fundraising page is located at the bottom (mobile) or side (desktop) of this post if you would like to make a donation. Cheers!
