Our Story

Two years ago this December, our oldest boy was diagnosed with high-risk leukemia at two years of age.  Since then, we have been supported in so many ways by loved ones and strangers alike.  So in an effort to give back & to raise money for Childhood Cancer Research we have organized a few different fundraisers, while always trying to keep it creative and fun (like hosting a dodge ball event last year).

This year, in an effort to continue that creative approach we have created a weight loss challenge that invites everyone to participate with us. Over the course of the next two months I (John) will attempt to lose 35 lbs.  Anyone who wants to participate can do so in the following options:

·  You can make a single one-time donation OR

·  You can pledge an amount for each lb I drop

Here’s where it gets fun …since Katherine thinks I cannot achieve this goal, we have created a competition between the two of us.  For every pound I make over my goal (i.e. for every pound I lose in addition to the 35lb goal), Katherine must perform a challenge from a collection of ‘dares’.  Vice versa, for every pound I am under my goal amount, I must draw a dare and perform it.

If you decide to pledge a certain amount per pound lost, all you need to do is make the pledge on my FB page (John Griese).... then you can donate the amount once the final weigh loss is known.

For every participant that donates or makes a pledge for any amount, you will have the opportunity to add your own creative dare to the mix.  At the end of the two months we will put all of the dares in a hat and will draw them out one at a time.  Also, for every 50 likes we get on FB, I (John) will draw and perform an additional dare.

Remember, in the end, this is all about the kids!! ...September is Childhood Cancer Awareness (as well as Blood Cancer Awareness) Month.  We thank you all in advance for your support and participation.  Now get to work thinking of some creative dares!!

Thank you,

John and Katherine Griese 


**P.S. Dares must be safe, clean and relatively reasonable – remember these will be posted online so lets keep it classy San Diego!!
