So this marks the official start of my preparations for the 2011 Overnight walk. I started this blog so that members of my team can communicate with each other about our training and fundraising progress (and problems). We can also use this blog to update our supporters and friends.
So far, the team has 3 members- myself and my friends Jayme and Maria. There are 2 others interested in joining, and I'm hoping to convince some of Elle's friends. My 1st order of business is to come up with a good team name. Could be something simple like "Elle's Team," but I was hoping for something more creative.
I have many fundraising ideas, and lots of time to implement them. My biggest impedement to fundraising is that I don't really know anyone. My social circle is very small.
This blog is for the members of "Elle's Dragons" and their friends, families, and other supporters. It chronicles our experiences as we train and fundraise for the 18-mile Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk (June 4, 2011 in NYC). While we each walk for our own reasons, we have come together in memory of Elle Stanford. Elle took her own life on April 19, 2006. She was 16 years old.
Perhaps something encompassing magical? Phoenix or dragons?
ReplyDeleteThat was Maria's thought, too; something with dragons. I'm letting that stew. So, are you going to join us next year? You know you want to.
