The before, during & after

Happy Early Easter everyone! So as many of you already know, I will be running the 2017 Mohawk Hudson Half Marathon here in Albany. Last year I ran for a charity and I wanted to do the same thing once again because there's nothing better than giving back to an organization. I knew that just asking folks for money isn't the way to go in this day and age...it can be an anxiety attack just building up the confidence to ask someone for cash..so I got creative. I took weeks contacting some of the TOP running companies and let me list them all because they all deserve recognition. I received products from Brooks Running, Adidas, Triggerpoint, Nuun, Skratch Labs, RunGum, ON running, Stridebox, Huma Gel, Hammer Nutrition, Momentum Jewelry, Peanut Butter & Co, Nuts 'N More, Amphipod Running, Swiftwick Socks, Oiselle, as well as Roll Recovery. and asked them if they'd donate items to me so I could raffle them off on Instagram and hopefully get some money for GOTR. Well let me just say that I couldn't feel more blessed that I got all of these companies to participate. I was literally in tears every time a company listed all of the products they'd provide me because I honestly didn't even think i'd get one response from ANY of them. These companies care about their customers and definitely care about giving back to charities and organizations and that meant a lot to me. Heck ON running even decided to provide a pair of shoes for each winner... like WHAT?! Is this real life?! Speechless, these companies have left me speechless and I couldn't feel more grateful and after telling the girls over at GOTR what my plan was I surely got them excited too. So how does this work? How can one potentially win one of these baskets or even the Brooks Running singlet signed by the ENTIRE Brooks Beasts team (including 2x Olympian Nick Symmonds!). Well it's rather easy and it doesn't cost much... The end goal of all of this is to raise money for GOTR so yes... money is involved but please keep in mind that ALL proceeds go directly to the programs for the Girls and it will be put towards funding meals for every single one of them in this year's program. There's a few ways to earn entries into this raffle... (Keep in mind that you MUST be on Instagram (you'll need your instagram handle) 1st thing to note is that the contest will begin on Monday, April 10th, and end on Friday, April 14th at 10:00 PM. All you will need to do to go to my Instagram page (obviously) and check out the photos I post every day about the contest. Then you'll have to head to my donation page (the link is in my bio) --> http://giving.girlsontherun.org/girls-on-the-run-capital-region-of-ny/Amanda-s-13-1-Journey-with-GOTR?source=gotrgiving To earn 1 entry you simply have to donate $10, and every $10 after that get's you a 2nd entry into the contest. Another way to earn a 2nd entry is that after you donate your first $10 you can repost one of my images (make sure you tag me in it!) and you'll be entered twice to win a grand prize! 2 Side notes :
Pretty cool right? Also it's SUPER easy to enter, two random names will be picked on Friday along with the top donator... in the instance that everyone happens to donate the same amount the winner of the singlet will be picked randomly. I really hope a lot of you get into this -- these baskets are filled with tons of runner goodies and you'll also receive a free pair of kicks what's better than that?? I wish you all the best of luck! Any questions please email me at [email protected] or shoot me an Instagram DM! Stay Green, Amanda
