Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
To do my part in raising money for TLC's work, I am going to walk 20 miles on October 1st, 2010 to kick off this year's National Trichotillomania Awareness Week.
I have now completed 12 miles and have stopped in at the TLC offices in Santa Cruz - to cool off! Thank goodness for air conditioning!
Thank you SO much for supporting this walk. Love love love. Okay, gotta finish up...
I hope you will choose to support my walk by sponsoring each mile with a financial amount that you can handle. My ultimate goal is to raise $1000 (or even $2000!!!) for each year I have devoted to this work, adding up to a total of $20,000 or more. That's my dream... Meanwhile, I am making a real effort to reach $5000. Will you please help me reach this goal? I really, really want to help.
a $10.00 pledge equals 50cents per mile
a $20.00 pledge equals $1.00 per mile
a $100.00 pledge equals $5.00 per mile
a $200.00 pledge equals $10.00 per mile
a 300.00 pledge equals $15.00 per mile
a $400.00 pledge equals $20.00 per mile
You get the idea!
This is to honor TLC's upcoming 20th Birthday celebration in 2011 and raise some important money for the cause. It is also in honor of 20 years of my own hard work, and many, many others, the turning of a human generation, the difference in knowledge about hair pulling and skin picking available today - from how it was when I was a girl, so afraid and so very, very, alone.
Like all nonprofits, TLC really needs help during this economic rough patch to be able to effectively do the job we all want it to do,
Please help me help TLC. I am so inspired to do this, and your support of TLC's mission means the world to me. Every penny is tax-deductible, and will go toward transforming people's lives for the better through more resources, more services, and the development of more effective treatments.
I am not pulling or picking any more, so I cannot do the Hands Down-A-Thon!
There are two ways to support my walk:
1) Choose a sponsorship amount and donate it here. If I do not walk the whole distance, I will refund you the balance.
2) make a pledge to me via email (Christina@trich.org) of what you will sponsor me for per mile - and after October 1st, I will contact you to collect the amount based on how far I walk!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
In Love and Service, Christina
