Charity Event

[Juskimo]

(I ran this by the mods already)

I am taking part in a charity event next month and I thought I would post something here to drum up some support.

It is called the 2006 Clean Air Challenge and it is a fundraiser for the American Lung Association of Alaska. It is a 2 day event that consists of biking 60 miles from Homer, AK to Talkeetna, AK, and then back the next day (yes, 120 miles in 2 days).

Suffice it to say I am going to spend a great deal of time over the next three weeks trying to get into shape (after spending the better part of the last three years in the library).

In any case, the event suports a whole bunch of programs that do all kinds of quality work. You can read all about the event at the website here

Couple things I want to point out. First is that you make donations directly to the website. So the money goes directly from you to the charity. If there are people who would like to donate, but do not wish to give out a credit card number or some such thing, I can work something out with you (I dont think they take neteller).

In the Gordon/Greenstein mold, I am donating 25% of my winnings for the month of April (whatever they may end up being). I encourage you to consider making a donation (either a % of a weeks play, or a set amount). Like most charities, every dollar counts.

If you want to make a donation or want more information, please PM me.

Thank you.
