1464 days

A few hours ago my friends took to the piste in London for the start of the wheelchair fencing events at the 2012 Paralympic games. An opportunity to compete at the Paralympics is a great honor and privilege, but its more then that it is the payoff for the hours months and years that you have put into your sport.   When I started fencing I knew I wanted to compete  but I didn't know how far I wanted to take it, my goal has crystallized in the last few months, It is time to start adding international events to my schedule in a bid for Rio in 2016. This is not a simple nor an inexpensive goal, it means longer hours training, more time at the salee, more frustration and more cookie sales. The games in Rio are just a little over 4 years away from today 1464 days to be exact. between then and now there will be 12 National events and at least that many international events. My road to Rio will be paved in shortbreads held together with the support of all of you cookie monsters out there on twitter, facebook not only in your purchases of my products, but also all the #goodluck tweets and Likes I receive on facebook when I'm away at tournaments. As I approach this season I am going to set a 30 dozen in 30 days goal each month the money earned from these sales will help fund the entry fee's to tournaments, replacement of  gear as it breaks and salee membership fee's. To get the road to Rio started i'm setting a September sales goal of 30 dozen, and I only have 25 left to sell this month! Thank you all for your continued support I couldn't have done any of this without your support and love of my evil shortbread cookies  and if you havent already tell you friends about this guy you know!
