Welcome to my blog!

I began my fundraising efforts a few months ago and have had pretty good results. This project is turning into something far more rewarding than I could have imagined and I decided to up the effort level. I created this blog to chronicle this journey. The generosity of people is overwhelming at times and I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart - it is this generosity and the cause that I am raising money for that has inspired me.

I chose to raise money for Noah's Wish after watching hour upon hour of Hurricane Katrina coverage on CNN. It was during those days that I learned about this wonderful organization and the things they do to help animals trapped in these horrific circumstances. One of the things that I really love about Noah's Wish and their mission is how it is not only animals, but their human counterparts that are helped. People love their pets and the thought of losing one is heart-wrenching. Organizations such as Noah's Wish work to reunite stranded animals with their owns - ending both human and animal suffering!

My original goal was to raise $2,000, but I have decided to up the ante a bit and go for $5,000. That amount seems a long way off right now, but you never know ... maybe I will have to increase the goal again! As of today, I am at $1,000 ... and counting!
