Healthy Giving Pledge Drive

[Kethra]

Howdy folks.

Just posting to let everyone (well those who haven't heard already!) know about a pledge drive I've started to benefit The Kids Need to Read Foundation.  It is a personal weight loss pledge drive called Healthy Giving.  I'm grateful to the Austin Browncoats for sponsoring my drive by providing a Browncoat Essentials gift package for a drawing to be held at the end of the drive. 

The Pledge Drive starts on Friday, January 23rd, and runs until May 23rd.  I'm taking pledges (per pound lost) as well as one time donations, all proceeds are going to KNTR.  Anyone who makes a donation or pledge (and submits the funds to KNTR) will be eligible for the prize drawing at the end of the drive.

Even if you can't make a monetary pledge, I'd appreciate it if you could spread the word about the drive.  Every little bit helps!

For more information about the drive, make a pledge, or learn why I'm doing this, visit: www.healthygiving.org

I know a bunch of people who are losing weight and may want to join in on this. Mind of I post this to my LJ and email it to some friends? I might try, but with the meds that I am currently on, I will likely lose you $50    (I guess that puts me in the one time donation category....)

Hehe  Go ahead and spread the word!  It's mostly just my own personal weight loss (ie people pledge $1 per pound I lose in the 4 month time period).  But it would be awesome if it inspired others to do something similar to this.  Heck, if they do something personally and want to just make a donation from their own little pledge drive, that'd be awesome.  Just a thought

Thanks, Zee!

The drive is open!  Spread the word if you can!

In lieu of check-in photos from last check-in (for the life of me, I can't manage to pin Sean down to take my pictures!) - here are some photos from our trip to the Rowena Crest overlook this weekend.


Hannah and daddy!


She kept wanting him to lean over the edge so the wind coming up the cliff would make her hair go crazy!


I AM SMILING, MOMMY!


Ok Hannah - try not to smile while I tickle you!!!


Told her to get on the rock and pose...she got up there and froze like a statue!
