There is a reason it is called The Pepsi "Challenge."

Image via CrunchBaseFor the third time in 2010 we did not collect enough votes to stay in the running. I will probably run again in March when they start accepting new Grantees. I am collecting resources now to get to the top in April. I will be asking many craft, and quilting sites to offer me their support. I will begin collecting them on my Face book page for the "challenge." It is a difficult challenge to win because it is based "totally" on people voting for me. I never give up, so I'll be in the fight again come March or April. So look for us and go to my page on Facebook to offer your commitment to vote for me. Please share with friends and family because this challenge is not about me it is about the disabled. Visit OUR GRATITUDE regularly to check for updates and our new start date.
I hope all that read this will go to the page join and lend "helping others with no expectation of return," is how life is meant to be lived. I hope to serve the disabled in my community and many others with this program. Please join in and lend me your support by beginning to collect bloggers, friends, and families to vote for us during our next challenge.

PEPSI CHALLENGE

I have enrolled in the Pepsi Challenge to fund a project to aid people with physical or mental disabilities to pursue their passion as a route to their personal recovery. When I needed a program like this in my area, none were available. There were programs for mentally challenged adults but not for high functioning adults.
Having suffered more than 4 years of Agoraphobia I managed to create my own recovery with the help of a highly competent and supportive therapist and a Psychiatrist.
I hope that everyone will vote for me to have Pepsi fund my program.
My recovery was a combination of finding ways to step outside of my comfort zone by testing the waters with different passions that I never even knew I had. I combined different craft ideas with meditation, power walking and eventually the freedom to workout at a gym, drive, and be away from home for hours on end, a feat I never thought I could overcome.
We all have passions and sometimes it takes going all the way down in our life before we discover them. I have found that there is a vitally creative side of recovery and when a person expands on that phase of realization, recovery begins and one is able to thrive. Help me help those that need it. Vote for me in the Pepsi Challenge starting on May 1, 2010. OUR GRATITUDE PEPSI CHALLENGE
