Donate A Mile
Donation protected
Good evening everybody. Move. Fit. Live. is very excited to announce a cool thing we will be doing for the entire month of August! Please take the time to read ALL the information below. It is a Win/Win for everybody and Donating a Mile will go a long way :)
I’d like to introduce Cindy Gonzalez. Cindy and I met our freshman year in college and have stayed very close ever since. I could go on and on about stories I have of her, how awesome she is, how she loves animals, how family is everything to her, or how she’s always got a funny remark to everything. But in short… I’d like to say I sincerely believe she is one of the most positive, sweetest, and honest persons I will come across in my lifetime and I’m happy to call her one of my best friends.
Now that you all have an idea of who Cindy is and how important she is in mine and a lot of other people’s lives, I’d like to come out and say that she is currently in the fight against cancer. She was admitted to the hospital on March 4th of this year and was diagnosed with Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, a rare high risk uterine cancer. The cancer had already spread to her lungs as well. She began chemotherapy the same week and has been receiving chemo every week to current. In mid April, she was able to pass her tumor and the tumors in her lungs are completely gone. Like a lot/most cancer patients, she has had her complications and set backs, but she is being herself and staying positive throughout this entire process. I remember talking to her the day after she was diagnosed and I could not believe how optimistic she was about everything! Then I remembered who I was talking to :) Cindy continues to be positive during her fight and is happy to say that she is almost cancer free!
Cindy’s favorite past time is running. When she needed a break from studying, needed to free her mind, was bored, etc… she’d go run. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been able to run since being diagnosed. She made a big accomplishment last month, when she was able to walk around the hospital hallways without being short of breath. Cindy has also been out of work now for 5 months and is hoping to go back in October. Out of work, with all the medical bills adding up can be quite stressful. Nobody asks for something like this, but it happens and it happens all the time.
With all this being said, Cindy had no idea I was going to do something like this, nor would she ever ask me to. But she means a lot to me and others, and now I would like to introduce you all to our Move. Fit. Live. Donate a Mile!
Donate a Mile is quite simple. Beginning this Friday, August 1st and continuing to the end of August, people can donate X amount of money to Cindy for every mile they complete. You can walk, jog, run, swim, bike, etc…Obviously, we will just have to use the trust factor in that you did complete your mile :)
WIN/WIN
It’s a WIN for everybody that participates because in order to donate you have to complete a mile, which requires you to move and challenge your body. Move. Fit. Live.’s whole vision is for everybody to create more movement to live a higher quality life. It’s also a Win for you all because completing that mile is for a great cause/person.
It’s a WIN for Cindy because her favorite past time is running. And since she cannot do this right now, how awesome to see everybody else running a mile for her. It’s also a Win for her because she receives all the proceeds that will help her tremendously with all the medical expenses.
How it works?
1) Complete your mile. You can complete as many miles as you’d like to complete for the month of August. Each mile you complete, you can donate more money if you’d like to.
2) You can donate your money on GoFundMe.com or deliver to me, Nathan Gamez personally. GoFundMe.com link will be posted beginning August 1st on our Move. Fit. Live. page. If you are writing a check, please make it out to Cindy Gonzalez. As stated earlier, you can donate whatever you’d like. Every dollar counts!
3) I would very much appreciate it if you sent in a photo or video of you completing your mile. It would be great to share this with Cindy when it’s all over.
I’m very excited about Donate a Mile and when I talked with Cindy last night and told her what I was doing, she was very surprised and also very excited. On August 31st (Last day of Donate a Mile), Move. Fit. Live. will be hosting a 5K. This will be everybody’s last opportunity to get in those last miles for Cindy. We will post all the details on our events page and would love to see a lot of you there.
Let’s make Donate a Mile successful everybody! Live Through Your Movement…
