I am raising funds for a great organization, The AIDS Foundation of Chicago, in concurrence with my training schedule. I'm going to need some help to reach my goal, as it is substantial. I figure if I put in the miles, I can let everyone else put in the cash. I will show you how many miles I put in and under what circumstances and you can put in the cash you think this is worth.
If that's not interesting enough to anyone, I have a few extra incentives:
- I'll be putting together a list of items/activities that you can "purchase," including, but not limited to, a raceday phone call at the mile marker of your choice, or a chalk graffiti of your choice drawn by me on a run and documented for the blog.
- I'll also be selling advertising space on my sweaty skin on race day which can be leased by businesses and private citizens alike--pricing and rules to come.
- Finally, I'll be setting up a raffle of some great items for larger donations including a series of painting donated by Ross Felten, and a personalized song written about you or the individual of your choice by the creative writing major/adman/award-winning songwriter/soon-to-be father, Tim Rausch.
- Details next week...
Thanks for looking at the words I wrote. Consider donating to a great cause for my sake, or to get some great stuff.
Big ups for getting your sites running, and for hitting 7 miles.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be the first one to see your thermometer rise. Kinda like robbing peter to pay paul but it gets the ball rolling. Plus, I screwed up while processing the payment so we're sponsoring you like double time. That’s how supportive we are. Now all you have to do is a little bit of running, and a little bit of embarrassing yourself for money, and I bet our generous loved ones will help out with the rest.
