Race to the End

So here we are, three weeks until my final payment is due for People to People. I can't believe how far I have come in the last 6 months. And how it keeps just falling together at the last minute. This month will be no exception to that rule. With the help of friends and family I have raised over $5000. I have been humbled by the kindness and encouraging words of strangers. I still have to raise the last $2800. We're still fund raising and selling, and while I feel I'm so close I know it's still scary and far out of my reach. So today I'll close my eyes, and say a prayer that this can really happen. There was a purpose in my journey, and even if I don't get to go on this trip in the end I will still be incredibly grateful for the adventure and what I've learned from it. And I think I'm a better person because of it. Before, if I earned $20, I would blow it on something stupid, but now, every dollar is valuable to me, priceless, going to something important and life changing in the long run. well, important to me, anyway ;-P

I can see the finish line, I'm going to sprint to the end!
