Hello everyone!It has been a few days now since we ended and I wanted you all to know that even though we are done with our 429 mile journey across the state...do not tune out because we are going to be doing GREAT THINGS here IN THE FUTURE!!! We are just getting STARTED---
As I stated on our last day in Milbank, I am going to be writing a book that will be a tour guide of what Nolan and I experienced in just a two week period!! I think it is truly amazing (you'll see) what the two of us were able to see and do in just 429 miles...yes it may only take several hours in a car, but you will find out just what you are missing and how much more you see when you are traveling at 4-5mph.
I took untold hours of High Definition Video and over 1500+ digital pictures! I filled up nearly 200GB of storage space on my external hard drive (courtesy of two incredible uncles---John & Clair Murphy). THANKS SO MUCH---it saved my bacon!
I have organized all videos and pictures according to each day they were shot. I was also given additional pictures by my Mother-In-Law (Mary Jo Kaup---who owns/operates "Just Horsin Around Photography" in Hoven, SD. Also, Jim Rappe, Nolan's Uncle gave us some of the photos he shot of us while on the road! THANKS SO MUCH Mary Jo and Jim.Between all of the sponsors providing us with the necessary gear and apparel to make this journey a success, and the joint efforts of places like the Bison School District, Ryan's Station in Great Falls, friends that gathered up donations, to the T-Shirt sales, Free will offering in Milbank, and all of the individual donations from folks just like you---we have been able to raise around $20,000 in our efforts to get CHEMO IS HARDER off the ground!!!! Nolan and I THANK YOU for getting us going in our life-long effort to battle cancer and help find a cure!
We have a ton of shirts, bandanas, and hats available for sale and if you are interested in purchasing any of those items please email us!! info@chemoisharder.com Every bit counts---
I am currently in the works of designing a fundraising campaign to keep our momentum going full force... If you happen to be involved in fundraising activities or have some great ideas for CHEMO IS HARDER, we would love to hear your ideas!!! It intend getting folks like you involved if you are so interested...Once I have a concrete plan in place and Nolan and I have put a sanity check on it, I will roll it out!!!
REMEMBER what I told you on an earlier posting--- Ideas are wonderful things, but if you don't write them down and make a plan, they are just ideas...They mean nothing until you write them down and share them with others!!! So I intend on following my own advice.
Take care for now-
...and remember to THINK BIG and follow-through even BIGGER!!
Brendan~
