Fat 2 Fit Fundraiser
Our summer fundraising continues with our Fat 2 Fit fundraiser. This is an important fundraiser for me because it involves me and my health. Over the last few years, like many of us, I have put on far too many pounds. My goal is to lose 40 pounds by December 22, 2018.
You can get involved by pledging towards my weight loss. All money collected goes directly towards sports grants for children of families in need. You choose how much you want to pledge. I have to lose at least 40 pounds by December 22, 2018. If I do not hit (or surpass) my goal, no money will be collected. If I do hit my goal, your pledge becomes a donation to our foundation -- Athletic Scholarship Foundation of Tuolumne County.
If I lose 40 pounds and you pledge $1.00 per pound, your will be donating $40.00 towards sports grants. If I lose 50 pounds and you pledge $2.00 per pound you will be donating $100 towards sports grants. Please do what you can to donate. There are many children that are unable to participate in sports programs and they need our help.
The amount you pledge is based on the weight I weighed on July 1, 2018
I am doing this for our foundation and I am doing this for my health. And if that is not enough motivation, a special note to my granddaughter...

I want to be there... when you just want to talk
I want to be there... when you don't want to talk

Guidelines:
My goal is to lose 40 pounds (from 277 to 237 pounds) by the end of the year. You can support our foundation by supporting my weight-loss program. You can pledge a dollar amount for each pound I lose or you can donate a flat amount.
On July 1, 2018, I did an official weigh-in. This weigh-in was video taped and it is posted below. I will do a weekly weigh-in and post my weekly results on this page too..
My goal is to lose 40 pounds by December 22, 2018. If I do not hit my goal of 40 pounds, you owe nothing. If I hit my goal, your pledge becomes a donation to our foundation. Your donations are converted into sports grants for in need families.
