So here is the scoop:
Newt and OneDaisy - two major shoe whores were sitting around one day (in the shoe store of course) surrounded by beautiful pumps, sandals, peek-a-boo's. And we both thought, gee, wouldn't it be cool to have an excuse to buy a brand new pair of sneakers? I mean, we always can find an excuse to buy pumps or sandals, color, style, heal, etc.... But sneakers? It's hard to justify when you have a perfectly good pair or 4 at home. But then we thought: But what if we had a really good reason to need to walk A LOT! Then we could say, well if we have to walk A LOT then we would need several pairs so that we didn't wear our only pair or 4 out. And so they wouldn't get smelly, sweaty......'
And then it hit us like a flying shoe box: Why don't we walk for a cause?
So Newt and OneDaisy came up with Walk the Summer for MS!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the shoe whores are going to walk the summer away and hopefully raise a little money.
So, what do you say?
Who wants to sponsor us?
By the mile, or one big (or small) chunk? We figure we will average 2-4 miles daily. So around 200-400 miles each. Unless of course we are REALLY ambitious. So if you said a dime a mile you would be looking at about 20 bucks. If you wanted to sponsor us by the mile you could also give us a max. mile you will sponsor. So, if you said 50 cents a mile with a max of 200 miles that would work too. We won't stop walking but we won't ask you to donate more :-)
All and we mean ALL donations will go to MS research. We have a dearly loved fellow blogger that has MS and we would like to walk in honor of her.
We will be walking from the first day of summer to the last day of summer. And posting every Monday where we are at.
Progress, etc. will be posted as soon as we figure out the software that came with the pedometers.
We have added a widget on the left side that allows you to donate through PayPal. We promise full disclosure on all transactional information so you guys know we really give the money to MS.
More to come!
