$5000 and more on the way!

July 18, 2006

Hello friends!  Today marked the passing into the $5000 territory!  I’m more than half way there to $10,000 - dare I dream that big!?

Again, my most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has visited, donated, linked, and bought me a beer.

I am hoping to re-vamp this site to make it prettier and more user friendly with some new fun features, so be on the look out for that and feel free to email me and bust my ass (or chops) if it is not happening fast enough.

Friday Bell!

July 7, 2006

Before I sign off for the day, let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who has visited this site, offered me words of encouragement, and donated. I am truly overwhelmed and humbled by your kindness and generosity. And this is just the beginning!

As of this afternoon you have helped me raise $1741.00!!

Does that deserve a “holy crap” or what?!

Thank you. This is an such an important cause - not only because it has affected my mother and family, but because of all the other wonderful families and friends out there dealing with the shock, struggle and devastation caused by this aggressive cancer. Over 30,000 Americans get Pancreatic Cancer each year. I have spent the past 26 years of my life taking the health of my family for granted. I never expected someone close to me to be affected by this disease - I had barely even HEARD of Pancreatic Cancer before this all happened. It is time to change that. Thank you for helping me raise money to make a change, and thank you for helping me find the courage to raise my voice about this disease.

I have my first endurance run tomorrow! I’m already inspired to go there and kick some ass thanks to your support.

Be well!

Day 1 - Holy Awesomeness!

July 6, 2006

Dear friends and visitors,

Wow! The kindess and generosity of people is pretty amazing. I’m about to go to bed completely blown away.

As I write this, I’ve received a total of $541.00 to help fight the good fight against Pancreatic Cancer, my enemy Number One!

Thank you to everyone who has donated and everyone who has visited. This is just the beginning! I’m ready to kick some ass - my own included.

I’m humbled by the overwhelming awesomeness of people.

Thank you. I will run in your honor.

Donation Nation

Look to the right! It’s a donation link!

My friends have kindly helped me set up a Donation link to PayPal so that people can start donating. All funds raised will go directly to Pancreatic Cancer Research at Mass General Hospital.

I hope to have tax deductible donations set up sometime next week. Until then, if you want to donate through PayPal, click the link to the right!

There is no donation too small. Feel free to donate a dollar - or if you see me around, throw some pennies my way! Everything helps - and it’s going to a GREAT CAUSE.
Thank you for your support in the fight against Pancreatic Cancer!
