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

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Staying Organized with a Baby and a Budget

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope your year has started off great and I hope it continues to be wonderful! I would like to consider myself to be pretty organized. Some people may find it weird that I love to keep things tidy and have a spot for everything. I hate clutter and huge messes. Yes I know I have a baby who loves to get into everything, literally. So I have had to learn to let her be little and let there be messes. Like most people I know, I binge watched Netflix show "Tidying Up" with Marie Kondo and her KonMari Style. Although fairly organized before the show, I felt inspired to get rid of more and organize deeper. I feel SO much better when my house is clean and things are put away. Spencer always makes fun of me for this slightly OCD quality I have. As I have been taking night classes and not getting home until 9 pm I have found it easier to not want to clean up the kitchen before bed. I do it anyway. Does anyone else have to have a clean kitchen before they go to b...

Potty Training and tips

I know most of you won't care about this post, but I know my future self will be grateful for it. Potty training is so tricky and it really tested my patience. I know everyone experiences it differently and each kid is different. I did a bunch of research on tricks and tips. I didn't just stick to one, I tried a few different ones and even combined some. Let's start from the beginning. Spencer and I wanted to have Evie potty trained before our new little one arrives. I can't even begin to tell you how many people told me I should wait until the new baby came. A good chunk of these same people told me Evie was too young (she is 22 months) and it wasn't worth my time to even try. Here's the thing; I kind of get why people told me these things, but it really made me doubt my abilities to teach Evie a hard task. Let's all be kind and not mom shame those who try things differently and earlier than others. I am with her all day, every day and paid attention to a...
