Hot Chocolate Run--wishes
Nov. 15th, 2018 08:53 amFor a couple of year's I've participated in Northampton's annual Hot Chocolate Run, held in December. It's a huge event, attracting thousands, and at the end of the run you're given a mug of, yes, hot chocolate. Wakanomori's done it many more years than I have, so we have quite a collection of mugs.
The run raises money for Safe Passage, an organization that helps families that have lived with domestic violence. I'm a very lackluster fundraiser; I'm too aware that there are many important causes out there and that people are by and large already doing what they can, etc.
But I have an idea of something I want to do. I want to run with people's wishes. A 5k race is 3.1 miles, so I'm thinking something like this:
I want to run covered in wishes so do take me up on this offer! ~ ~Here is the fundraising page.~ ~
If you donate more than $3.10, you can send me multiple wishes! You can leave it/them down in comments, or you can use the DW messaging system.

For a donation of $3.10, I will write your wish on a piece of paper, pin it to me, and carry it with me when I run. That way I'll be running not only to help those who've suffered from domestic violence, but also your particular wish. World peace? A new refrigerator? Send me your wish and I'll take it on a 5k race. That'll definitely give it a push toward coming true.
