An Angel sent to me

I am seating here at my dining room table in tears.I dont know if you all remember about the Half Marathon ( Diva Half)  that  was going to run in October.I had asked a few people for support including my boss and I was told today that he is not going to help me financially.It's not in his marketing budget.I myself are not able to save up the money to go because I need to save up for a new roof that needs to be done by the end of summer( insurance).This run means alot to me because it's closing the end of my journey.Doing this and finishing means that I am getting really close to the end.I have endured so much in my journey that this run was going to lift the weight of my shoulders.I posted on my FB and the Running site I belong to that I was crushed about the news.So after a big disgusting Wendy's dinner(I eat when I am emotional) I get home to check my FB.I had a message from a fellow runner that has been following my progress with both running and losing weight.He wants to help me raise money so I can still go to Long Island o run my marathon (the end of my journey).He set this up today (copy and pasted):Send Pina to NY!

Alright everybody, here's the deal. No doubt everyone here is a hero

and deserving of our support; but I am particularly inspired by Pina

Tunney's weight loss and running journey. Unfortunately, her aspiration

... to enter the "Run Like A Diva" half marathon has encountered a major

setback when her employer denied financial support.

Speaking for myself, I'm inspired by her effort and accomplishment; and I

think it would be tragic if her dream were denied. Consequently, I'm

announcing a "Send Pina to NY" fund raising effort. I don't know what I'm doing yet, exactly; but think about how much you could spare for a great running cause.

We need to raise airfare to NYC and the entry fee plus anything we can put together for transportation, lodging & meals. Details to follow. This could be fun.

This action has touched me like you wouldn't believe(still sobbing).I can't believe that I have touched so many people with my journey.What does God have in store for me???? Is he trying to tell me something with the postponing of my military career.
Today I have done another sacrifice.I accepted a fulltime position in another store.It's fulltime 40 hrs a week and it's all daytime.My training and my life as I know it is going to be turned upside down in 2 weeks.I dont really want to leave my friends.I have gotten so close to them.
I do want to thank Joe for being a kind soul to help me with what he has done on FB.

On another note I am down to 210 lbs now and in a size 14 pants.
