I have to say that I was overwhelmed by the show of support I received, not only from friends and family, but from a couple of companies that I work with through my job.
I didn't know what to expect when I made my outreach, and when they both noted that they wanted to make a contribution, I was of course grateful.
Talking personally with one of the two agencies, Krobe Interactive, I learned that they weren't talking cheap. When I received their check, I was floored! Their generosity was heartwarming! That's when it was decided that they were going to be my "official / unofficial sponsors". Their show of support and belief in me and what we were doing with these climbs resonated with them and that's why, they said, they wanted to make a contribution.
So this past weekend when I made my trek up Mt. St. Helens, I carried with me a sign that they made for me (by request) and when we reached the end of our journey up the mountain, I pulled the sign out from my pack, held it proudly in front of me and had a few pictures taken.
Yes, the sign is fun, and shows humor, but I am confident in saying that this photo is NOT all that they got! :-)
They have also received the thanks and appreciation of so many that their contribution will help and they showed that all it takes is an open heart to make a significant difference! They have certainly made a difference to me...
Thank you Krobe Interactive! Your generosity and support will always be remembered.
LOVE it! Heather I'm so glad we could help, it makes me happy to be part of the fight! And congrats on that climb, that looked fun and scary all at the same time... scary because folks my age remember the eruption of Mt St Helens. Of course you're so much younger than me....;)
