Hello you two! Tell us about you and your team?
I’m La Dayna, I’m 27 and a stay at home momma to three kids ages 4,3 and 2. We live in South Salt Lake City, Utah. Our team is the Fanny Packin’ Sister Wives, which is funny because we live in Utah and the polygamist. We did a mud race where Crystal’s husband was the only man and there were 4 of us girls and that’s when we became Brother Brandon’s brides and that’s evolved into me and crystal rockin’ some sweet fanny packs, hot pink tights, and a lot of pestering our friends and family for donations.
I’m Crystal, I’m a stay at home mom to 2 kids. Mine are 7 and 4. La Dayna and I make up the Fanny Packin’ Sister Wives. It’s a bit of a cheeky name that we get a kick out of. We are both quite competitive and work together amazingly. We love to do races whenever we get the chance but our favorite is the Urban Challenge for Make-A-Wish. Its is definitely the most fun one we have done but more then that it is a fundraiser for an amazing charity.
How did you get to be where you are today?
La Dayna- Our good friend Angi told us about this race. Crystal and I both really want to be on The Amazing Race and this is kinda like a local Amazing Race.
Crystal – Like La Dayna said, our friend Angi told us about the race and we were both very excited. The race itself was enough to get us there but the fact that it was for Make-A-Wish made it even more special for me. My sister grew up with Leukemia and Make-A-Wish sent us to Disney World. I saw first hand the difference a wish can make. I know there are a lot of charities our there that are worthy of our time and donations but when it comes down to it, Make-A-Wish is the one who has my heart. You can see the difference your donation makes. You can read a story about a child who had all but given up then made a wish for something they never would have had otherwise and that change in their life can make such a positive change in their well being. If you want to know why you should donate to Make-A-Wish, go to their website and read just one of their wish stories and your heartstrings WILL be pulled. The drive to win at everything we do added to the knowledge that we are working for something that I truly believe in is what makes our team so fierce in this competition.
Who or what inspired you?
La Dayna- I try to do one charity a year and I hadn’t really found “the one” I would just pick one and do it’s walk or whatever but this is a really great cause. They do such amazing work for the most wonderful, innocent children.
Crystal – My inspiration has always been my mom. She is so strong to a point that it astounds me. She has had more then her share of trials and tribulations and she is still so strong and sweet and supportive. As a mother, my nightmares are made up of watching my children suffer and she lived through that (and so much more) She didn’t give up, she didn’t back down. She held my sisters hand and got her through. If I can be half the mom my mom was then I will count myself as a success.
What are your wishes for the future?
La Dayna- well in the near future we would like to go back to Mexico, which is the grand prize for winning this race. The HUGE goal is that I would like for Crystal and I to get a real following and people to really back our team, raise awareness for this cause and deepen our friendship. Plus… Go on the Amazing Race and win!
Crystal – I want to raise even more money this year then we did last year. We have a good start going too! I want to win the Urban Challenge again with La Dayna then start planning our trip to Mexico! And my big goal is I would love to make it onto the Amazing Race with La Dayna as my teammate. Every time I watch the Amazing Race I visualize us on it and decide who would be best at each challenge. I think that we would rock the race!
What do you hope to gain by being featured on my blog?
La Dayna- We hope to of course help your readers know more about the Make-A-Wish foundation and hopefully drum up a few more donations. Please donate to us!
Crystal – I want to get the word out for a great charity and I hope that some of your readers donate something to our team. Every little bit counts! And I hope to get the word out about our cute little team also. You can like us on Facebook,too!
Please help us any way you can! Spread the word about our team!
