Help Shakespeare's Girlfriend raise money for the Memory Walk on 9/14/08

Even though the walk is over I am still getting donations! I’m now at $400!!

I managed to raise a grand total of $350.

Thank you to those on 43things.com that helped out. I can’t tell you how great it made me feel.

Cheers,

I’ve raised $330 so far. I’m a lot closer to my goal of $500 but still have a bit more to go. AND…only 3 days to do it in!

I’ve got a long way to go to get to my $500 goal.
Anyone have any money raising suggestions?

Thanks for your support…Keep it coming.
(Even $5 will help.)

I knew things were tight for folks right now but this is terrible. I can’t seem to even pry the loose change from people’s pockets. I’m not sure I’m going to come even half way to my goal of $500.

My Grandmother and I share the same middle name. I’ve been told that I’m a bit like her. She was outspoken, funny, and kind to anyone who was in need. She was a wonderful lady and I often think how sad it is I didn’t get to know her better.

Unfortunately, when I was in Middle School she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. By the time I was old enough to really appreciate getting to know her she was already forgetting how to make dinner and where she left her keys. She would laugh it off and at first things didn’t seem so bad. We all had hope that she would be okay. A few years later she passed away in a nursing home surrounded by a family she didn’t recognize.

I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. It’s not fair to have a loved one taken away in mind or body in such an awful way. This is why I’m joining MOVE and building a team to help raise money and awareness.
