I ended the year in probably the most positive way possible, with our first donation for our Indiegogo Campaign sitting in an envelop behind the juice bar counter and us surrounded by club members and friends at the stroke of midnight.
I've been working so much on our Indiegogo Campaign and perhaps not because it is so difficult but because it is so very important to me and I feel like this is the one real way I can give back to our club. Many of my Korean friends are also friends of Snickers and so this is my chance to get not only my Canadian friends but also my family in Canada in on helping support us and our dream.
Today one of my friends came to Hulk's to lend his support. He's been helping me edit the campaign website and has been bouncing ideas around with me but today he blurted out that he wanted a particular perk. I laughed it off and didn't think anything of it but then he handed me an envelop. Inside it was the exact amount for that particular perk.
Instantly my eyes swelled up with tears.
I told him, "You're going to kill my tough boxing girl image", and tried to compose myself but the tears started to fall. Snickers caught sight of me all teary-eyed at the juice bar, as did so many others, so he rushed over to see what was going on.
I was so incredibly touched.
And it wasn't the amount that touched me, it was the fact that in addition to him already helping me he then went way beyond the help I ever expected by buying one of our campaign perks, that's what really got to me. It was so unexpected, so very sweet, and I felt so totally motivated and much more optimistic about launching this campaign this week.
