Description
I am in my mid 30's and I am overweight. I currently weigh 319.3 pounds and have suffered from Crohn's disease for almost 20 years. In May of last year, I had to have surgery to try and alleviate my symptoms. I am happy to report that the surgery has relieved me of many of my symptoms. Now that I am healthier and my crohn's disease is in remission, my goal is to lose weight and live a healthier life. Instead of just losing weight I am challenging friends, family and community to donate based on a set amount or per pound to the SMC Alumni - Santa Monica College (Official) My first goal is to lose 30 pounds by my Birthday, which is May 27th . I am asking my friends and supporters to challenge me to lose this weight by donating to a great cause. Please indicate in the comments of www.facebook.com/loseweightdonatefeelgreat if you will be doing a set amount or a dollar amount per pound. If you choose the dollar amount per pound please specify up to how many pounds you pledge (In case I lose more than 30 during my initial goal). All donations are tax deductible when you fulfill the pledge to the SMC Alumni Association. Then on May 27th, when I do my goal weigh-in, I will list all the donors on the Facebook page www.facebook.com/loseweightdonatefeelgreat and direct them to this website . Leading up to my birthday, I will post updates on my progress, including my diet, exercises as well as the brutally honest positives and negatives of this journey. I will also do a weigh-in every two weeks. I thank you all very much for this support and for supporting the Santa Monica College Alumni Association. I also highly encourage you to visit the SMC Alumni Association alumni.fund.smc.edu for more information regarding alumni services!
Donations are applied to...
President Ambassador program, Alumni Services, Dale Ride Program , Smc Everywhere , Future Alumni Programs and raising money for scholarships.
Personal Message
Thank you for supporting me in my healthy lifestyle change and supporting the students and alumni of Santa Monica College. Instead of just losing weight I am challenging friends, family and community to donate based on a set amount or per pound to the SMC Alumni Association to support current and future alumni.
Why are donations necessary?
Alumni Services are necessary to support current and future alumni services, In addition the alumni association is working to create more scholarships to help benefit the future alumni aka current students of Santa Monica College.
