Two weeks!

Eeek! It’s almost time to go. And I am SO behind on getting everything done. Luckily all my gear is set, all of Emily’s gear is set, all of Emily’s food is gathered. Mostly it’s my food and getting all the logistics of sending the resupply packages left to do.  

This past month has been a devastating one as Butters, my 12 year old Golden Retriever suddenly passed after a brief cancer fight. The costs of his surgery gobbled up my hiking budget. The trauma of losing him gobbled up my motivation. And the grief I am feeling is overwhelming. 

I had so many plans of making the fundraiser fun and exciting for people to be involved in, but now I am scrambling just to get myself out the door and onto the trail. Hopefully I can sort these things out on trail and get some excitement generated for the campaign. Right now I have no excitement for anything.  

I am not sure if I’ll have the funds now to pull this off but I am sure going to give it all I’ve got to make it happen! I will be eating lots of ramen and instant mashed potatoes.
