Four days and counting
With the Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk breathing down our neck Sunday we could use donations both big and small to move our NET cancer centered Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk teams forward.
There is a lot of potentially good news…
Our Caring for Carcinoid Walking with Jane team has officially logged $14,400 as of this afternoon. That is good for 39th overall out of 900-plus teams. Kulke’s Krewe, the other NET cancer focused team, is currently in seventh with $36,706.20. Their top fundraiser has raised as much as our whole team to this point. He is in the Top Ten overall.
Our team numbers
I continue to lead our team in donations to this point with $8079.30. I have another $250 on the way between a corporate match and money I collected this week. Last Friday’s leader-board has me in 25th place
overall. For those raising money for NET cancer, I am in second.
Elizabeth MacNeil continues in second for our team with $3008.60. Among first-time walkers she is 16th overall through Friday and could be in the Top Ten there by the weekend given her efforts this week. Among all walkers, she is 121.
Friday’s leader-board has me in 25th place overall.
Jenaleigh Landers continues to hold down third on the team, with $576.20 raised through today.
We also added a new walker this week to bring us to 15: Katie MacNeil.
New Walkers can continue to register this week. If you can join us, please do.
Donations seem to be down this year
I have no official statistics beyond my memory of last year’s numbers to back me up, but it appears donations for the Walk in general are down significantly from last year–as are the numbers for our NET cancer team. Caring for Carcinoid’s team raised over $35,000 last year by the day of the event. This year we will have managed just over $15,000 if I am reading things right. A year ago, we had 7-10 Pacesetters. This year we have but two.
Our…team has officially logged $14,400…
But the numbers seem off to me across the board for other teams and the event as a whole. The economy is tough this year and fundraising numbers are down for many organizations this year.
That is just one more reason I am asking people to do what they can this year especially. There is a lot of potentially good news out on the NET cancer and cancer horizons this year. But to turn potential into reality is going to cost money regardless of the economy. If you can help, please do.
Together, we can make NET cancer history.
