What Did I get myself into

I have signed up to do the Walt Disney World Marathon for the American Stroke Association. The problem is that I have to raise 3400 dollars. I have emailed all my family and freinds but still think I need to gather more troops. Since I don't have a real job but just work as a temp employee I can't really ask my coworkers so I was wondering if my BT freinds might want to help. The following letter has a link to my site where online donations can be made or if you want you can email me and I will give you my address. Thanks for any contributions you guys might make. I feel it is kind of Ironic that my fat butt is worrying about the fund raising and not the running.

I’m training to run a 26.2 mile MARATHON to help the American Stroke Association.

Through the association’s Train To End Stroke program, I have a coach, a team, training schedules, and special clinics – and I’m raising thousands of dollars for stroke research and education programs. That’s important, because someone suffers a stroke every 45 seconds and someone dies of one every 3.1 minutes. And 29 percent of people who have strokes are under age 65.

I’m asking for your support through your good thoughts and a generous contribution to the American Stroke Association. I am especially proud to run on behalf of many who’ve had a stroke and desperately need our help. You can run with me in spirit.

P.S. The marathon is in January 2005, but I plan to meet my fundraising goal by October. Your tax-deductible contribution, sent as soon as possible, is greatly appreciated! Every dollar makes a difference toward stroke research and education. If your company has a matching gift program, please send me the matching gift form along with your check – and potentially double your donation!
