walking with a crown…

Comment now » // June 26th, 2009

I know a lot of you have already donated in support of me doing the AIDS Walk San Francisco.  But I just thought I would write a quick post to remind anyone who hasn’t had a chance yet and would like to.  I am only $200 away from my new $1,000 goal!  I orginally had a $500 goal and passed that quickly because of everyone’s generosity.   Then I had a $750 goal and passed that one even faster!

Now, I have a $1,000 goal because I feel as though I should keep on raising money for such a good cause…but I have to be honest here…it is also so that I can be a Star Walker and WEAR A FLIPPING CROWN WHILE I WALK!  I was pretty excited when I passed my $500 goal and knew I would be getting a tote bag, t-shirt and water bottle.  But now, I’m going for the whole shebang…trying to also get the fleece vest, pin, breakfast the morning of the walk and THE CROWN to wear during the event!  I of course am totally stoked to be raising so much money for an organization that my dad probably got benefit from at some point during the time that he lived in SF with HIV/AIDS, but did I also mention I WOULD GET TO WEAR A CROWN?

Ok, I will probably be annoyed after 5 minutes of wearing said crown during my walk,  but I would love to have the option…so I am only $200 away…if 40 of you just donated $5 even, I would be there in no time!

So if you feel it in your heart, go check out my AIDS Walk SF page at aidswalksanfran2009.kintera.org/jennaluna!  I’m walking on July 19th, so you still have a couple of weeks.

Love to you all…hug your loved ones!  Life is short, but sweet for certain!

UPDATE:  as I re-read this, it really sounds like all I care about is that crown…while I am a geek for sparkly headwear, I also am a passionate supporter of HIV/AIDS organizations and helping people with the disease, since I have such a personal experience with it.  I just wanted to clarify my *real* reason for doing the AIDS Walk at all!  Ok, I feel better now.
