Pat's PEPY Journal 
Wednesday, April 26th - 11:35 PM
It's been a little while since I last wrote. The donations are still coming in though they've lost a bit of steam since the initial surge. I continue to receive money from people who I don't directly know so that's quite heartwarming. Apparently I've developed a "Fan Club" in New York City. Perhaps I'll visit them after the ride, around June 5th, because I'll be in NYC on business. Thanks so much! :)
On April 23rd I wrote a press release and sent it to local newspapers. You can find the file here. I thought it was pretty good but apparently the local papers didn't because I haven't heard anything back as of yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because even one paper could bring a lot of extra exposure to my cause. Perhaps I should try some websites.
I spent a lot of time tonight putting together a flyer that I plan to hang up on bulletin boards in local supermarkets, libraries, etc. You can find it here (~5 Meg .pdf file). Feel free to print it out and hang it up in your local office, church, library, etc. It would help me out tremendously!
I'm still trying to follow up with Domino's Pizza and Jordan's Furniture for other fundraising options. It's slow going and I need to find the time to sit down and write some formal letters. I hope this time comes sooner than later!
Well it's late and I've still got "miles to go before I sleep" so I'm going to get off my website and get back to work. I should have another journal entry soon. Thanks again for your support.
