Team in Training - A beer or a glass of wine?

On June 6th, 2010 I will be running the San Diego Half Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. Not only to help find a cure, but also for the personal challenge of completing a half marathon. This is quite a challenge for me at this stage in the game, but I am fortunate for my health and feel this is something I should do for those that cannot.

My goal is to raise $2,900 by May 20th. I would greatly appreciate your support of any amount. Every donation adds up and I am fortunate to have so many friends willing to support this effort. I ask that you help in a small way.

FUN WITH DRINKING, DONATIONS AND MATH - a $5 beer or a $10 glass of wine
I have 390 friends on my email list:
If everyone donated just $5 (as if you bought me a beer) we would raise $1,950. If everyone donated $10 (buy me a glass of wine?) we would raise $3,900!

Many of you have bought me a drink (or many) in the past, but this one is tax deductible!

This year I am competing I have pledged to train on the behalf of 7 year old Jack (who is currently in remission!) to help raise money for leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and melanoma research and patient services programs.

To Contribute please go to: http://pages.teamintraining.org/txg/rnr10/hautechakalaka

 All contributions are 100% tax deductible, I thank you so much for all of you that support so much of the things I do.
