I'm taking a break from the regular running mommy adventures to remind you of a little something. And up the anti a little bit. Remember that kick booty raffle benefiting the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults? You know, this one?
Well you guys have been AMAZING and incredibly generous with your donations!! So far, this raffle alone has raised over $1,050. That is AWESOME. So thanks to some more sponsors, we are upping the anti. And now, if you don't win the grand prize, you still have a shot at winning second place:
-12 assorted GU gel packs
-A water bottle from Team FIGHT
-A livestrong bracelet to show your support
-A BibKeeper bib storage/display book...because every race has a story, what's yours? (bibs not included, you have to earn those on your own, haha!)
Oh, and EVERYONE who donates $50 or more, is going to get a little thank you gift in the mail (to be sent out after the grand prize drawing!)
Need a few more reasons as to why you should consider donating?
-Because it's for an amazing cause.
-Because there are over 70,000 young adults diagnosed with cancer each year, and survival rates have NOT increased for young adults in over 35 years.
- Because even if you don't win this amazing prize package, or this second place prize, you will get a bonus entry (or two or three or who knows what I may have in store for you!) into next months raffle...which includes items from many of these same sponsors, as well as some new sponsors, including Lucy Activewear and Running Chics just to name a few!
So, get to it! If you are new around here (in which case, welcome!), you can read this post to learn more about the HUGE raffle. I've you've been around for a bit, you know the drill. Here's the direct link to the donation page http://www.active.com/donate/TeamFight2010/heathergannoe
13 days until the drawing!!! THANK YOU for your continued support!
Happy Running! And once again, run a few miles for me. I'm about 25 miles behind schedule at this point, ugh.
p.s. New bloggy friend Kayte was inspired to join Team Fight in running the Baltimore Marathon this fall. I'm honored to have her as a teammate! So please, check out her page as well! She's got some amazing fundraising fun going on as well!

The bib keeper is such a cute idea! Very coll stuff and great cause to raise money for.
Heather,
Keep up the awesome work, raising awareness, being relentless.
I am inspired!
Good Luck Heather! I added this link to my Facebook, hopefully it will generate something for you! :)
Very cool stuff!
I love the idea of a bib keeper! My first half marathon bib is lost right now and I am thinking how nice it would have been to have a bib keeper :-(
Heather - awesome, simply awesome. Thanks so much for the post as you know I am a "newbie" follower - I'll be lending a hand to support the cause as well as you know this disease is close to my heart.
Thanks for all you do!
Best from Austin,
Joe
Thanks for the shout out! Question...how do you get your sponsors? Do they find you and send you items or do you find them? I've gotten some great things from smaller stores/businesses that are local but I want to reach out further. What do you do?
Neat new goodies! The bib keeper is a great idea.
Thanks for working to raise awareness of something far too many of us have been touched by.
Exciting and what a great job on your part. That bib keeper looks very cool.
I got my donation in and have my fingers crossed for goodies. But even if I don't win, I have to say it's a little selfish how good I feel for all the runners I've been able to support this year...here's to a cure!
Very cool prize, and amazing cause! :)
I love the bib keeper! Good luck with the fundraising - I just made a donation :)
Relay for Life just started up again for me and I know how tough it can be to get donations, keep up the good work!
