It's hard to trust the age-old myth that "a little goes a long ways." But with a lot of little donations from friends, family, and the occasional quarter find in the couch coushin, we've gone an unbelievably long ways. Below is a picture of 120 basketballs we had to deflate, by any means necessary. At one point Levi was sitting on two and squeezing two more trying to show off his deflating capabilities- it was impressive. Almost.
Along with the 120 basketballs we purchased and packed basketball rims, nets, scoreclocks, whistles, drawing boards, shirts, hats, sweatbands and pumps. We had so much materials that we couldn't pack it all because of the 50 lb weight limit. We filled 8 large bins and several pieces of luggage with the gear. I couldn't believe the amount of gear we were able to raise in such a short time. So amazing!
I (we) really want to say thank you for donating to our trip to the Himalayas! We trusted we would raise the money and it came quickly, thanks to all of you. We all are very thankful for your part in allowing us this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'll keep you posted as often as possible. Thanks again and please keep us in your thoughts!
