When I set up this team, a few months ago, I sort of randomly selected goals of raising $2,000 and getting 25 people to participate. They seemed kind of lofty at the time, but now I am glad that I chose such high goals.
We are two days out and we have raised $1,750 and we have 18 people signed up to participate. That's pretty freakin' amazing since we last week we only had about five people signed up and we had only raised 20 bucks. This is incredible.
On a personal note, I am now losing in my competition with Megan Remmers to see who can raise the most money. She currently leads me by $30. She has surprised me with her efforts. Given that I had to nearly force her to sign up in the first place, I didn't expect that I would have to work this hard to out do her in fund raising. She has really pushed me to work harder than I would have without the competition, which is probably a good thing.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed thus far. You guys are awesome. Let's keep the funds following in.

While I may be winning by $30.02 I need to say that it may not last that long. You have been plowing ahead the past couple days since I signed up. You being in the lead for the majority.
This is a close race and I am excited to see how much we all raise. Glad we could make it a friendly compeition that isn't over yet.
Everyone help Shannon out! Especially so he doesn't have to twist any old ladies arms to donate! :)
shannon- i get the feeling you are trying to make up for every selfish self centered American in one fell swoop.... can't be done son...BUT the love you are sharing is powerful.... make sure you keep taking it in as well.
with love, paxton mom
I'm not trying to do it alone. I am trying to get other people to help out.
I can't change the world by myself, but I can take part in God redeeming all things.
shannon,i know you are not trying to "do it" alone. You are giving a lot of other people a chance to share in this work. (including us which we apreciate) what i wanted to encourage you to do is 'receive it' as well as 'do it'. love, the Paxton mama
