I am extremely thankful to everyone who has given. Thank you! Your support to me and the Endowment is greatly appreciated.
By the way, when the final numbers come in for October, I will update this blog with the grand total.

Fundraising Update and Thanks
At last check, the amount raised for the Jay Holdgreve Endowment for Testicular Cancer Research was $2,195! I also know for a fact this amount does not include additional donations received after September 30 so this total will rise.

It's Over But It's Not
It is true. The 31 Initiative has ended. I ran my 31st 5K race in 31 weeks yesterday. The 5K 4 K9s did not have the fastest field but it was exciting as I finished 2nd overall (with a time of 22:36). It is hard to believe the races are over. It seems like yesterday when I bundled up for my 1st race back in March.
So what's this about "It's Not"? The races may be over but I want to make one last push for donations. The reason why I started this endeavor was to raise money for the Jay Holdgreve Endowment for Testicular Cancer Research. I am proud that we have raised over $1,800 so far (the last time I checked - it may be higher now) but I want to see if we can increase this total. For those of you who have already given, I sincerely thank you. For those of you that haven't, now is your chance. I'm guessing some of you were even waiting to see if I could do it - to see if this 31 races in 31 weeks concept was even possible. Well, I am happy to say it is possible. Any donation, no matter how small, is appreciated and will be put to good use. Let's give to this great cause. Oh, and of course, your donation is tax deductible. Please see the directions in the top left had corner of my blog page to give.
If you've already given or can't give at this time, another way of helping is spreading the word. Let's all work together to let our friends know about this. And let's ask those friends to let their friends know. Let's post on Facebook or Twitter or send an email out. I admit I haven't done the best job in letting people know about The 31 Initiative. Perhaps you can help me. Let's finish this campaign strong!
