Challenge #19 - Welcome Craftards Challenge

Hello!  Welcome!  I recently took a gamble on donating to someone else's charity drive in order to purchase an ad spot on Regretsy in the hopes that I would be able to ramp up some of my own fundraising to haul my own sorry ass up this godforsaken mountain.  So, I threw down $100 at the glorious Bronc Drywall's AIDS Ride fundraiser and secured myself a little Below the Fold advertisement.

I'm hoping that this gamble paid off and I'll be able to meet my $2,500 fundraising goal for Summit for Someone and Big City Mountaineers.  I didn't have a lot growing up because we were miserably poor and recycled more cans than I can remember.  But I did have a dad who was committed to building character by putting you through miserable life experiences.  I want these kids to be able to slog through the majesty of the outdoors and be forced to poop in the woods so that they have a leg up on someday being a functional adult - which is more than most of us will ever hope to achieve.

If, through the support of the Regretsy community, I'm able to exceed my fundraising goal I will carry with me to the top of the mountain a cherished talisman as a token of thanks and cry glitter-eagle tears at the summit..  I'm not sure what that will be yet - spectacled octopus?  Mass-produced robot charm?  Barn wood "Thank You" sign?  Organic cotton tampon "CF4L" banner encrusted with real Swarovski crysals? So many possibilities.

Thanks for your time and support.
