WOULD YOU STAND BEHIND ME?

Many of you know me and know my health background.  Suffice it to say that what I am offering is a labor of love because it will be VERY difficult for me.  I have a neuromuscular disease and am  in constant pain among other symptoms.  We tried the walk-a-thon and  while we had a few extremely dedicated walkers and a couple very generous donors over all the turnout was byoned disappointing.  I don't want to ask volunteers to go through all that my wonderful volunteers did before for nothing.  So this one I'm putting all on myself IF anyone cares enough to sponsor me or offer pledges ...I will load up my camping gear and supplies and set out on my bike and ride just as far as I possibly can.

I need to raise $19000 to pay for all funeral expenses not including a flower vase and the remainder needed to open the Annual Andrew James Hensley Memorial Scholarship  I need $13,800 for funeral expensese soon or it will go to collections. (A big thank you to Sunset Memory Gardens for being so patient and helping us in every way possible) and roughly $6000 more for a student to begin receiving the scholarship.  Of course the more we can raise for the scholarship the more help the student who recieves it each year will benefit from. 

I will post all of my expenses that come from any of the funds such as lodging, food, or repairs and I will be thrifty.  I will also post short videos, pictures and short blogs from my phone when possible.  And I am more than willing to wear clothing to advertise for any major sponsors or promote your product in any reasonable way.

My one request is this...I have only one child left and she is everything to me  Sept 13 this year is her Sweet 16 birthday and especially considering all our family has been through I ask that somehow, someway I get to celebrate her birthday with her even if I am still on the road.  I have got to make her 16th birthday one she will remember and bring a big smile to her face.

Between Google, facebook and Twitter are there enough people out there who will help spread this around and help me get enough people to pledge and sponsor me make it possible for me to make this happen?  If you will help commit to helping me in this endeavor please contact me with the amount you are willing to pledge or sponsor for and any requirements for your sponosorship.

Please do let me know who you are, the amount of your donation and your mailing address so that I can personally thank you.  If you wish to get involved but wait to see if I have enough people stand behind me to make the ride worthwhile then please write me and let me know and I will update on here if I have any supporters and when I plan on setting out and request your donations.

I am completely new to this and always open to suggestions to make this better...thank you!
