What’s that little hillbilly think she’s going to do with that much money?

I just realized that people wandering by without knowing my history may think I want that whole fifteen hundred dollars just to go race a couple of hours away. Rest assured, that is not the case! The Black Bear fundraiser that I’m doing does not have the extravagant goal that it seems at first. More than $800 of that amount, I already spent last year on my first race, plus shoes and a heartrate monitor, probably some other stuff I forgot.

Please enjoy this image of a doggie with a burger on his head.

The amount left to raise would be to cover a room, fuel, and meals, maybe even hopefully another pair of shoes. I do not already have a thousand dollars for this goal. I have…let’s see…$105 and change, estimating the gfm fees before they send me my cut. In other words, I really need your help if I’m to do this!

So if you’ve happened by and said “I ain’t helping anybody that can’t make a 2-day driving trip for less than $1500.”, I understand that completely!

I wouldn’t think anybody needed that much, either. But I do need a couple hundred more to even contemplate the trip. I don’t like to take from the family for this stuff, as it amounts to entertainment for me. Everything is getting more expensive, and we have to cut corners some places. My athletics is one of those places. (Don’t worry, I am never going to stop doing sport things. I am just not able to travel.)

I do hope that some of my writing is entertaining or helpful enough to inspire a little bit of a thanks-offering. You don’t have to like the running stuff. You can support the carnivore or homeschooling or just random stuff, too! Whether you give to my gofundme or my buymeacoffee link, or even paypal me (carnivorecoachcindyd @ gmail.com), the money will go into my athletics envelope. That’s just what I do with my pin-money.
