Crush Kids' Cancer: The Kids' Chapter is about to set out on our own mission just before David gets back from his!
In case you haven't heard, David is due to come home from his mission at the end of this month. The Kids' Chapter has decided that as a Welcome Back present for David, we're about to begin our own fundraising mission! Starting Monday, March 17, 2014, our goal is to get as many donations to Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels as possible. This project will run until April 1, 2014 and we will announce the total amount that was raised, as well as let David know about this wonderful Welcome Back gift from all of his fans!
To donate, go HERE and click Donate To This Team. Remember, no amount is too small! And if you aren't able to donate, you can always simply help us spread the word about this new project! We appreciate all forms of support! :)
After a long flight from Boston to L.A. early Friday morning, the day went by fast as the Stand Up 2 Cancer show was going to begin in just a few hours. After getting ready and heading to the Shrine Auditorium, I picked up my tickets and soon met up with PecanPie! It was great getting to talk to her again. Soon after, Mary Lou (Pastel) and Marge arrived! It was awesome getting to meet them!!
Eventually we took our seats and the show began. A lot of the stories shown were really sad but it made for an interesting feeling throughout the entire room as everyone watched these stories of people all going through the same thing, the thing that we were all here to stand up to and CRUSH. But it was really cool to see Justin Timberlake, Sofia Vergara and Robert Pattinson, to name a few, plus see Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys and Tim McGraw perform! It was also cool to see how a live show is done, and how quickly people have to move to keep it going.
Soon after, it ended and we met up with Mary Lou and Marge. We were all invited to a reception that Pecan would be speaking at afterward, so Mary Lou and Marge offered to bring us with them in their car so we would all be together. There was quite some confusion finding their hotel, but I didn’t mind because I got to see a lot more of L.A. that I originally wouldn’t have! lol
Finally we did make it to their hotel and hung out with them for a bit before taking a cab to the place where the reception was being held. It was a party with fancy food and swanky people, but I just liked getting to hang out with Pecan, Mary Lou and Marge. Then Dave Filice came! It was awesome getting to officially meet him and talk with him!
Then Pecan made her speech, and she did great. She talked about David and Crush Kids’ Cancer, then said little blurbs about each of us who were there and why we’re so dedicated to the team. I really liked how David and Crush Kids’ Cancer were still being celebrated that night, even though David isn‘t
here.
The rest of the night seemed to fly by and eventually we took off back to our hotel. It was a great first time in L.A. and a really special event to have gone to. It was awesome getting to see Pecan again, and also meeting Mary Lou, Marge and Dave!! They’re all some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and it was so much fun getting to hang out with them all.

“I’D WALK A THOUSAND MILES FOR DAVID ARCHULETA”
Get ready to BEGIN. the “I’d Walk 1000 Miles For David Archuleta” campaign! BEGIN.ning August 7th, 2012, the @DA2014FitClub encourages you to BEGIN. walking or running to complete, as a group, 1000 miles as a tribute to David and his new cd, BEGIN. We’ll BEGIN. at 12:01 a.m. EDT, August 7th, 2012, so wherever you are in the world, put on your running shoes and join us. Get a pedometer, measure your route or walk on a treadmill to keep track.
The rules:
1. You must be following @DA2014FitClub on twitter for your miles to be counted.
2. Report how many miles you walk/run each day or each week to @DA2014FitClub.
That’s it. Pretty simple, huh? If you walk in kilometres, we'll convert it to miles (1 kilometre = 0.62 miles). Also, if you can, please send in a picture or twitvid/video of you running or walking via Twitter to @DA2014FitClub. If you don’t want to show your face, just have someone take a picture of your feet or legs, or you from the back. We’ll update how many miles we’ve gone as a group every week. To help me, I plan to set a goal of how many miles I’m going to try to do every week. It’s not how fast you can go or how far you can go; it’s that you BEGIN. Remember even ¼ mile adds up to a mile if you do it 4 times a week. Set a goal and BEGIN.! We can’t wait to find out how long it takes to get to 1000 miles!
Who we are: DA2014FitClub is a group of David Archuleta fans who decided to exercise and eat healthy foods to become more fit while David is on his mission. We found there were many fans who wanted to join in on the fun and fitness, so @DA2014FitClub was formed on twitter to allow fans to encourage and motivate each other, to share tips and to report their progress. Join us!!!! No membership fee, just a desire to make your lifestyle healthier!
*Please note that bicycling or recumbent bike mileage will not be counted in this campaign, but we’ll work on having a biking challenge related to David after the “I’d Walk 1000 Miles For David Archuleta” campaign. All you bikers, please join us with walking or running if you can.
