I just wanted to write a quick post to thank everyone who has donated to our team, Blockheads Against Alzheimer's. We are so, so grateful for every donation, from the $10 to the over $100 ones. We mean it when we say every dollar counts. I am excited we have $700 in donations. Blockheads rock! :) I pray we can still reach our goal, but am losing hope as The Longest Day quickly approaches. Every donation makes me ecstatic but to still only be 44% of our goal at 8 days out is a little disappointing. I thought we would be much closer by now.
I apologize for not holding more fundraising events. Our team members are very busy with our respective lives and honestly, we're all pretty broke so we weren't able to do all the contests and fun events we had planned. We wanted to do something at the venue for the concert in Charlotte several members are attending, but that plan fell through. I take responsibility because I did not make the money I thought I would before June 21. I personally wanted to do so much more than I've been able to do. But this isn't a pity party blog. Even if we don't meet our $1600 for The Longest Day, the team is going to stay together and continue to do events, including the Charlotte Walk to End Alzheimer's in September. Here is our team page for that. We encourage everyone to find a walk in their area and participate. We meant it when we said "we're in it until Alzheimer's is finished." This isn't ending if we don't meet our goal. We're not going to stop if we never get a shout out from Joe. Although that would be REALLY nice, we're not here for attention. We're here to raise awareness and end this hateful memory and life stealing disease. I don't like the word hate and I don't hate anyone but I fricking hate Alzheimer's. Please consider joining me and making a difference to #EndAlz. Thanks everyone for your support!!
