I need your help for a good cause

[Dial_tone]

Okay, peeps. It's time for DT to call in some markers. I am seriously considering participating in the AIDS/LifeCycle Bike Ride on June 3-9, 2007. It's an AIDS charity event (duh!) that entails cycling 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles over 6 days.

In order to do the event I not only have to bike that far...I have to commit to raising $3,000 before I can even start the ride. I work for a small company and I don't know that many people in Cali so I'm hitting up all my online homies and home-ettes. $3,000 is 120 people @ $25 each which is a lot of folks. I'm hoping a couple of you will be between cycles and won't mind pony'ing up $75-100. I need to get an idea how many people I can count on to throw in $10-100 for a great guy busting his fat ass for an even greater cause.

I figure 30-50% of the people who say they'll help won't when the time comes so I'm hoping the numbers will add up between all the forums I visit. I'd like to decide and start collecting money by January 1, 2007.

Who's in? Don't make me go all Rev. Al Sharpton up in here.

[Lao Tzu]

I'll send $20 but I need to know where.

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

I'll throw in $54.50 (10 cents a mile) some time next month. If you don't make the whole trip though I want to be reimbursed for the remainder of your mileage. You know, extra incentive.

 

[gonelifting]

Please PM me the info. I'm in for $25 at least. Maybe more but I'll commit to $25 for now.

 

[Dial_tone]

In one day you raised at least $100, that isn't bad.

You haven't told us where to donate the money yet bor. Don't count the chickens until the guy who drives the truck finds your house.

Somewhere in between 25 and 250...depending on finances at the time. My income fluctuates a lot.

 

[Lestat]

I will definitely help you our bro.

 

[Dial_tone]

Thanks, everyone. Assuming I decide for sure to do it I will begin officially collecting donations on Jan 1.

 

[jackangel]

I would start up some other way though, as people may forget by then. Why not set up a paypal account today, collect donations and then transfer it all on Jan 1st?

 

[katdav]

In and I'll come cheer you on if you pass thru my neck of the woods........

 

[caligirl]

Do you have a paypal set-up? I'll donate $25-

1. The ride organizers already have a payment system that works fine
2. I use my paypal for personal stuff and I don't want commingle funds.
3. Obviously I will bump/make new threads as time goes on to remind people.
4. I've got enough on my plate with training and fundraising to worry about who paid what.
5. If you pay thru Paypal you won't get the letter of acknowledgement for the tax deduction.

You should make a list of all the people and what they are going to donate, and update it every week or so here.

Yep, cause we'll forget in a month. At least I would. Hell, I don't even remember last week. Too much aluminum in the air.
