Since Friday I:
- Started this blog
- More than tripled the amount of money I've raised for Team Stork from $635 to, as of this moment, $2,185
- Had a fantasy baseball draft where, as usual, I killed it
- Ran a few miles, but you already knew that
Which was all great. Especially the fantasy baseball draft. I have to be honest, that took up the largest chunk of my time this weekend, I'm obsessed. I guess that happens when you win 3 titles in 4 years. Cross your fingers that Curtis Granderson won't be suspended later in the year!
And though everything has gone even better than I could have asked for this week, I'm happy to say there's plenty more to look forward to.
First, there's this guy:
He's standing in front of the flag because not only is he funny, talented as a dancer as well as a singer, handsome, and smart, but he's also incredibly patriotic. Dude loves America, and he's proving that by adding a second show to the Boston area come August. Tickets go on sale again tomorrow, and I couldn't be more excited. Oh yea, and Jay-Z will be there too.
Second, and much more importantly, more incredible news on the fundraising front. My uncle, Gregory "General Generosity" Matthei, pledged to donate $1,000 if I can make it to $4,000. He even put it on Facebook - and you know as well as I do, if it's on Facebook, it has to be true.
So essentially my goal just became $4,000 - not that I'll stop there. But for all the other extremely generous people out there, this man just made your jobs that much easier. If I can get even 100 people to donate $20, that puts me WELL over $4k. If 200 people donate, $10 each will do it. It's an additional $70/mile that I'm running. Less than $47/day from now until the marathon.
However you work out the math, it's well within reach. As I said, the response since I've started this blog has been phenomenal. Just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone so far who has donated.
And to everyone else who plans to, thank you too! Look forward to your thank-you email, text, or phone call! More news on the JT show tomorrow!
