Another Fundraising Check in.

Thanks to a couple of donors, I'm still in the top 3 fundraisers - and very close to my goal. However, I am not all the way there yet, and ask you again to help by donating something - even $5 or $10. Remember that this ride benefits the University of Kansas Cancer center, so it will be a worthwhile (and tax deductible) donation.

Stacey Corrado is nipping at my heels, so if you are looking to donate a couple of bucks to a good charity, please help by making your donation HERE. Make sure that you click on the "Sponsor Me" box underneath the graphic to make your donation. 

I will be back with some more stuff soon, but right now I'm blogging about Dallas Renter's Insurance at my "pro" gig, so it may be a day or two before I put something new up. 

In the meantime, please do make your DONATION to fight cancer now. This blog has gotten a lot of new traffic over the past few days because of interest in The World's Rarest Univega and because of a link from Biking in Dallas. I hope some of you have been hanging around and poking into the archive (such as it is) and like what you see. I also hope that some of you will see it in your hearts to make a DONATION. Then when you read my sure to be riveting hundred part account of my Tour De BBQ experience you won't feel so much like an outsider. 

Some things are hard. My ride will probably not be this hard. 

A Quick check in - fundraising.

So, the story about my favorite comedian moved my readership not a bit, eh? Very well. My next post will be much more personal. I have mentioned the subject here once before, but what is coming should be much more comprehensive.

First, I want to thank the people that have donated so far - I appreciate it. Because of you, I am still in the top 5 as of this posting

I wanted to assure you that if you decide to DONATE that you won't be getting spam email - the fundraising isn't done through Livestrong, but instead through eventunited, who hasn't sent me an email yet. if you are not donating because you are worried about spam, then please, donate. Eventunited hasn't spammed anyone who has donated yet, so I think that excuse is removed.

Please, donate something - I'm competitive, and I want to stay in the top five - but also, I want to raise some money; be the pro from Dover who rolls into town, rides the shit out of some miles, eats he hell out of some barbecue, and raises a bunch of money in the process. 

Keep in mind that I don't HAVE to raise this money to ride - I want to raise some money. I am a charitable person, but I've only ever given to things like this, I've never attempted to raise the money. 

Help me (and help cancer research) out. 

DONATE 

Please, sir?
