Austin Hastings

With less than a month to go until the close of this fundraiser, I wanted to give a little update on how we’re doing.

We are currently at $1,567, or 31.34% of the $5,000 goal.

Thank you to everyone who has gotten us this far!  If you haven’t already, please forward along this address to your friends and family and let’s see if we can continue down the road towards $5k.  It’s for such a good cause, and I know we can do this.  Given the current average of donations, if we can get 55 more donations at the average amount, we should hit the goal.  Or 110 donations at half average, or 27.2 at double size… or a few big ones!

I’ve grateful to have received some very loving and supportive messages along with donations:

“Austin — I recently lost my father. Hospice was a primary support in his last several months. Thanks for helping us all to support them. Peace + Love.” Janice, San Francisco CA

“Good luck Austin I know mom will be with u every step of the way She is so proud of u”  Heidi, Carver MA

“Great cause and glad you sound to be going in a good direction after such a difficult life event. And thanks to your dad for motivating so many people to make their lives better too. As they say, it takes a village!”  Kevin, Santa Cruz CA

“Austin, this is awesome! I, too, ran a marathon a few years ago in order to raise funds for a worthy cause. Training is such a grueling, yet amazing, experience. This is definitely a memorable time in your life. Good luck on race day!”  Marie, San Francisco CA

“Good luck Austin with the run! What a great beneficiary.”  Jason, Oakland CA

“GOOD LUCK AUSTIN!!!!”  The Caporoso Family, Trenton NJ

“Austin, Best of luck in the marathon. I am in the process of launching a new company, and oddly enough mentioned to Tinkoff last week that I would like my company to be able to help people that are trying to help others through running. Seems as though the stars have aligned. You are truly an inspiration to me. Take care and best of luck in the San Francisco Marathon.”  Rich, Prairieville LA

“Hospice was there for my dad, so I understand why you are running. Hope the weather is cool.”  Barbara, Petaluma CA

Can we make $5,000 by July 31?  With your help we can.  As you see from the messages above, Hospice is a wondeful organization who deserves all the support we can give them.

Thank you again for all of the love and support. Let’s see how far we can push this great cause in the month of July!!
