I’m blogging this as October 7 draws to an end.
Today has been awesome for my team and me.
While I didn’t get to add to my kilometres tally, our fundraising took off. That’s because it was the day when donations were matched by the major sponsors of the Challenge. I did not promote my fundraising until today in an effort to optimise the amount raised. So, my total raised has gone from $0 this morning to over $600 by the time the “matching donation” period came to an end. And that’s before the matching dollars are added in. Hopefully, they’ll all get matched and push my total above $1000 and the team close to $2000. We’ll have to wait and see because I suspect that as in previous year’s the cap (this year it’s $800 000 Australia wide) will be reached and the donation matching will be a pro rata reduction, not an actual dollar for dollar match.
Nevertheless, I’ve been buoyed by the great generosity and support that I received from donors.
Thanks everyone. And Crikey is a happy crocodile 💚🐊.
