Fundraising Bleg Part II

6 September, 2008 (23:50) | Family, Fitness, Friends | By: Arlen

OK, you bunch of slackers.



I sent out the e-mail. I posted it on my blog. Told you all about the great causes that it will benefit. You know, things like the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Wounded Warrior Project. That’s right, the group that helps those that volunteered to defend you and got severely injured in the process. I also mentioned the good karma it would produce, just in case.

I even gave you a link to my page on the charity site, where you can see progress to date. Have we noticed the lack of progress?

I know what you are waiting for. You need someone to sweeten the pot! So here you go. El Hefe at Emergent Fitness, a.k.a. Chris, has offered a prize to the person that raises the most money for the event. It is an iPod shuffle that is engraved with the Fight Gone Bad III logo. So here’s what I was thinking:

I will provide said iPod to whoever donates the most help me with this cause!

This of course requires two things:

  1. Out of all the participants from EmerFit, I have the top dollar amount for donations.
  2. Out of the multitudes that are going to donate to help me, you have the top dollar amount for donations.

Remember, if someone beats you out, you can always add to your donation!

Even if you already have an MP3 player, don’t you think a shuffle would be great for your own fitness excursions? Plus, I will ship it to you for free, even if you live in Brazil!

Now how can you beat that?

Ahem, now click here please.

P.S.- The “Bleg” in the title is not a typo, just a combination of Blog and Beg. I don’t know where I saw it first, but thought it was fitting for this post. Kinda makes you want to donate, doesn’t it?

That getting knocked out thing might actually happen. Actually, I guess it would be pass out.

We did a run though the Fight Gone Bad workout last week (the first time I had done it). Before we started, I had a goal of breaking 200 points.

I only made it to 151. It is a lot harder than it seems! :D

Ok, now I donated too, so please go knock yourself out or pass out or whatever it is you’ll be doing. Wish I could be there to see it! * Insert evil laugh from little sister here*
