I’m quite ordinary, really. I’m a 24 year old girl from Sydney, Australia who still feels like she’s about 12 and procrastinates far too much.
I have the entire collection of the Baby-Sitters Club books, have had a crush on Ron Weasley since the first Harry Potter book, and my goal in life is to one day put “Geographer” on my business card.
I had a stroke in December 2008, and that’s why this website has been started: to help raise money for the National Stroke Foundation.
The National Stroke Foundation is an organisation that works to prevent stroke, do research about stroke, and help people who have had strokes. On the “How you can help” part of the website, there are a few things you can do. The one that jumped out at me and said, “Do me!” was this one: Cycling in Vietnam.
It is a challenge to go on a sightseeing tour through Vietnam on bicycle. It is a two week trip in March 2010, with four and a half days in a row of cycling (about 80-100km a day), and some sightseeing along the way.
Each participant needs to fundraise $6500, and about $3000 or $4000 will go to the Stroke Foundation.
It is a great cause, and it will hopefully be a fabulous adventure. I hope you will support me!
If you donate, I will love you forever!
To read more about this fun and exciting adventure, please go to my first blog post or just click around the pages on this site. It starts with Cushing’s Disease, then the stroke, and now my blog is used to keep track of the fundraising and training adventure that will consume my life until March 2010.
If, for some bizarre reason, you want to contact me, you can reach me at jennigan at gmail dot com.
