We reached the $2000 mark!

Last night we finally crossed the $2000 mark! YAY!! Now we just need to get to $3000 by the end of March. March 31st is the first deadline. We each need to have $1500 in by then or we are booted out! I'm thinking that we're doing pretty good to reach that deadline in time. :) Wahoo!

Last night we also had our 2nd Climb for Clean air meeting. They gave advice on how to keep raising the money. A lot of the great ideas came from knowing people in the area. Like having a bar give a percentage of the Rainier Beer proceeds toward the climb or having a restraunt do a party. I wish that I had more "ins" around here but we'll make do with what we have. They suggested doing garage sales, which is something that we had planned on doing anyway. The other thing they talked about was gear. Wow, gear is overwhelming, and we weren't even talking about upper mountain gear just low land gear for our training hikes. Its great that they take the time to help us out with all this stuff. I couldn't imagine trying to figure it all out on my own! The guides are all great! It was nice to meet up with the people that are going through the same things that we are. They are all so nice.

We want to continue to thank everyone that is supporting us on this journey. We wouldn't be at this point without you!
