My name is Kristin Wishon. For the next six months my goal is to become completely vegan. I’ve been a vegetarian for over two years and I think it’s time to challenge myself. I’m doing this primarily for my health, and also for the environment, animal rights, and for the promotion of an organic and clean food industry. My next goal is particularly important to me: I want to raise at least $500 for the Be The One Run. This is an event that is happening on Sunday, July 15th in Downtown Portland. All proceeds will go to the National Bone Marrow Registry in aid of current and future patients requiring a bone marrow transplant. If you would like to have the potential to save a life, register as a potential bone marrow donor HERE Tumblr (3.0; @kristinwishon)http://kristinwishon.tumblr.com/<p>Today I decided it was time to start my six-month journey into veganism.</p> <p>I honestly don&#8217;t think this will be intolerably difficult; I have been a vegetarian/pescatarian for over two years now. My only weakness is seafood, but I can give it up and go all veggie for reals (no more sushi!).</p> <p>I think the hardest things to give up will be icecream and chocolate, but this is actually an advantage since I&#8217;ve been trying to find a way to avoid them anyways. I do have such a love for baking though, so I&#8217;ll need to find more people to eat my delicious baked goods! (:</p> <p>On another note, today is also the beginning of my two-month fundraiser for the Be The One Run. I&#8217;m not sure how I&#8217;m going to form a team, but I&#8217;m going to try. I&#8217;m going to raise $500 one way or another. I&#8217;m determined. Two months ago I raised over $600 for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life (my team raised over $1100 altogether), so I got this.</p> <p>I got this.</p>http://kristinwishon.tumblr.com/post/23299586981http://kristinwishon.tumblr.com/post/23299586981Fri, 18 May 2012 11:23:00 -0700be the one runrelay for lifebe the matchnational bone marrow registryvegan
