Help me raise money for a cause (Part 2)


This is a letter/email I sent out to some people, but I thought this would be a better, more efficient way! Again thank you in advance for all of your support and help! I love you!
 
Dear Family, Friends, and loved ones,

A little while ago I mailed/emailed out a letter informing you that I would be participating in The Walk for the Cure this year with my family. I wanted to update you on a few things and tell you how to donate and register as walkers. I would love for you to help me reach my goal of $805.03 in honor of my ten years of having this chronic disease. I have full confidence that before the walk date on Saturday, August 24th, 2013 I will be able to raise this amount. You have no idea how much of an impact all of you have made in my life, I would not be where I am without you guys. I am truly grateful and appreciate your willingness to help me out and contribute to the research to find a cure. We are all in this together! Recently I have had the opportunity to meet some wonderful families struggling with the diagnosis of diabetes of their young children. As I have heard their stories and taken the time to get to know them, we all have shed tears and shared moments of joy together. I am grateful for the opportunity to work for JDRF and find joy in the hard times and comfort those who need some encouragement that, yes diabetes stinks, but it is not the end. Let’s get this party started and kick diabetes to the curb!

                Some details you may want to know:

Walk date/time/how long: Saturday, August 24th (Registration begins at 8:00 am, the walk will start between 9-9:30) The walk is a 5K (3ish miles) Where: Liberty Park

Cost: There is no registration cost; however I would love for you to donate to my team (Kacey’s Krew) to help reach my goal. No amount is too small!

How to Register/donate:

1-       Go to walk.jdrf.org

2-       Click on drop down box “Select State” under blue Register button  (Click Utah)

3-       Click on blue Salt Lake City button

4-       Scroll down page to “Top Teams”, find Kacey’s Krew, click on that

5-       At the top of this page there is a button to “Join this Team” or “Donate to Walker/Team”

6-       Click on either:

a.        If you want to walk, you have to register, at the end of this process you have the option to donate

                                                               i.      You will then have to make a login and password. Click on “Join as new participant” follow those steps on registration page.

b.      If you are not walking or won’t be able to make it, there is an option to just donate

7-       At the bottom of the page (after clicking Kacey’s Krew from “Top Teams”) it shows who has donated, if you click on my name, I have shared my story. Feel free to read, share, and enjoy with others!

Whichever you decide to do I will support you! Thank you again for everyone’s help! I love you guys!

Best Wishes,

Kacey Kevern

The journey of my new smile...

I felt like blogging about the journey of getting my new smile. Oh boy! It sure has been a long, painful, and exciting process. In May of  2000 I was riding my bike, like a big girl (I was 8) with a bunch of my siblings and cousins, to my grandma's church (which was just down the street from where she lives. Staying on the side of the road as instructed, there was a man hole cover that was not pushed down all the way. Being toward the back of the bike line I didn't notice that it was up about three or so inches. Everyone else had dodged it and went around it. I, going full speed to keep up went straight over it and flipped over my bike handle bar, bike still in hand I landed on my stomach. I got up, a little dizzy and discombobulated got up thinking that was pretty sweet that I survived that epic crash. I didn't know how bad it was until my sister Kelsey started screaming "Kacey! Kacey! You have blood running down your face!" I immediately put my hand to my face a...

Personal Thought: A simple prayer answered

I had an experience a few weeks ago that helped me realize the power of prayer. This is kind of personal (not kind of... it is very personal), but I wanted to share it and maybe someone could benefit from it. For a while I have had abnormal bleeding (for long periods of time), not thinking really anything of it, I ignored it for months actually. At times it would be pretty painful, took some IB Profin, and I ignored it. I was talking to someone who said that with the IUD that I had, that bleeding that bad was not normal. Again, I didn't think anything of it. Spencer and I have been talking about our future family and this came up in conversation. Spencer is not as excited about starting our family this young but I am all over it. I was surprised when he asked me to go get it checked out, because something could be wrong. It took for me to hear him say that to go schedule an appointment. Of course I looked online of what it could possibly be and then I got nervous. I had be...

With a life long disease, isn't it wonderful to live in a time where we will find a cure one day for this disease?
