To everyone who has donated, in large ways and small ways, I want to say thank you. I am proud to say that all of you are on my team. What you are doing makes a difference in the lives of those who are suffering from leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers.

Party Purple raised a grand total of $172 and the restaurant night at On the Border raised $75. Hopefully, both of these donations will be reflected here visually soon enough. In the meantime, however, there is still work to do. I have one month left to meet my minimum fundraising amount. As you can see, I still have quite a bit of ground to cover by my deadline of June 7th. How can you help?

• Make a direct donation right here. Those who make a donation on the website or with a check will get a special thank you from me after I complete my event.

• Make a $5 donation with the comment "Bondi Band" for a chance to win the Click package (Bondi Band, canister of Click Espresso protein beverage, and a Click protein shaker cup). Promotion ends May 10.

• Contribute to Team in Training while feeding your Scentsy addiction. 10% of May sales will be donated to my fundraising campaign (plus you're helping me get my business off the ground).

• Contribute to Team in Training while feeding your chocolate addiction. Have you heard about Velata? Be one of the first to experience the latest and greatest fondue craze. 10% of May sales will be donated to this fundraising campaign, and yes, you are helping me get a small business off the ground.

Thanks! And GO TEAM!!!

Tomorrow is my Purple Party at Sherlock's!!!

I'm getting closer to Anchorage and to my fundraising goal, but I still need your help! Why not support finding a cure for blood cancers and have a little fun at the same time!?!?!?!

Wristbands are your ticket to Party Purple for a mere $5. What does that get you?

• Purple mixed drinks
• $5 appetizers
• Chance to win a door prize
• Raffle prizes
• There will also be a prize for the person who brings the most friends (who also buy wristbands).

Please bring friends and send them this Evite!

I am a big fan of Click, and that's no lie. Case in point...

What is Click? It's an espresso and protein coffee drink. Muy delicioso, I might add. I drink this for breakfast almost every morning. And now I am excited to tell you that Click has joined my team! And if you join my team too (by May 1st) with a donation of $5 or more, you have the chance to score some great products from Click!

Want to try Click? You can buy one sample pack and get one free. Try both flavors! Both the Mocha and the Vanilla Latte are great!

Want more chances to win? Enter to win this cool beach cruiser by liking Click on Facebook.

Your potential is only a Click away! Check out this great deal!

I want to thank some local business who have stepped up and made gift card donations. Stay tuned for details on how to win!

And THANKS SO MUCH to Sugarless Delite for featuring my story with Team in Training on their blog today! You can go see the entry here.

Did I mention that chocolate is responsible for signing me up for Team in Training? No really, it is.

I ran in the Hot Chocolate 5K on February 10 and kind of signed up on a whim. It was something I had considered doing in the past, but I am no elite athlete and felt intimidated by the whole thing.

Well, here I am. And now you can support my run for chocolate... Um, I mean... a cure. By purchasing a wonderful chocolate bar for a minimum donation of $2. When you see me, getcha some candy!
