FORBES WORLDWIDE

So I fell asleep on the couch ridiculously early tonight, before I got booted into the bed, because I was "taking up too much space." Sad face. So now I have just woken up and have my Forensic Files on the TV and am checking out my March for Babies page. We have $1,710!! We only need $290 to get to our goal of $2000. I can't believe it, I am so amazed and grateful to everyone who has helped to close this gap. I have until about 9 am on Sunday to raise the rest of the money so any help any of you can offer is greatly appreciated. Click here to donate!

Dennis and I got involved with the March of Dimes after his grandfather passed away in February. At the service, everyone had so many great things to say about him and his dedication to his community. Dennis said that his grandfather's service had inspired him to want to do the same. We chose the March of Dimes walk because I walked when I was in 4th grade and remembered it as a really positive experience. It has been so rewarding to realize that a small group of people can raise this much money for such a worthy cause!

We are looking forward to our next community service project, though we're not sure what it is yet. We are going to try to avoid another fundraiser for awhile and instead try to find something like Habitat for Humanity where we can contribute ourselves without asking people for money again. I have worked with SurfRider Foundation in Ocean City before, so I may try to get more involved with them before we move to Baltimore. If you have any suggestions or want to get involved in our next cause, please let me know! :)

Until then - please get the word out over the next 30 hours - $290 left!! Yea Forbes Worldwide!!
