CRUNCH TIME

GOOD DAY FRIEND. HOPEFULLY YOU ARE READING THIS THE FIRST TIME AROUND OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART...AND NOT BECAUSE I HAVE HOUNDED YOU RELENTLESSLY TO SUPPORT MY MARATHON FUND RAISING CAUSE...OR THAT I AM CURRENTLY STANDING BEHIND YOU WALKING THROUGH THE DONATION PROCESS. AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, I AM TRAINING TO RUN THE NYC MARATHON ON NOVEMBER 5, 2006. JUDGING BY MY LOVE HANDLES, CRIPPLING ADDICTION TO SLEEP, MY COUCH AND AND IT'S BODY CAST OF MY LEFT SIDE, MY ELITE LEVEL OF XBOX PLAY AND GENERAL DISDAIN FOR ENDURANCE SPORTS, MANY OF YOU MAY SCOFF AT THIS ATTEMPT AND SAY "FAT CHANCE FAT FACE" WELL TO YOU NAY SAYERS, I SAY NAY. I SAY THAT ANYONE THAT IS WILLING TO SEMI - FULLY COMMIT TO A TRAINING REGIME AT THE LAST POSSIBLE DATE THAT WILL ENSURE MINIMAL EXPOSURE TO CATASTROPHIC KNEE/SHIN DAMAGE IS THE KIND OF PERSON THAT WILL MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. I ALSO THINK THAT PERSON WILL NOT ONLY FINISH THE MARATHON IN PERSONAL RECORD SETTING TIME (PREVIOUS RECORD NOT AVAILABLE), BUT WILL ALSO HOST A CELEBRATORY FUNCTION AFTER THE RACE AS WELL. THAT BEING SAID, ANY DONOR TO THIS CAUSE, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL, IS ENTITLED TO A PERSONALIZED RED, WHITE OR BLUE SOLO CUP FILLED WITH AS MUCH *BEER AS TWO TO FOUR KEGS WILL SUPPLY. THE LOCATION OF THIS "PARTY" WILL BE SUPPLIED SHORTLY, BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE HELD AT APPROX 4PM NOV 5, 2006.(http://www.teamforkids.org/)THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS OUT THERE THAT DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO KEEP THEIR LIVES POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THIS CHARITY FOCUSES ON STRUCTURING KIDS TO LEAD HEALTHY PRODUCTIVE LIVES. WE ARE TALKING ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGERS OF THE FUTURE, NOT THE F-KED'S. I KNOW THAT PEOPLE GET ASKED FOR MONEY EVERY DAY, AND WE ALL BECOME SO NUMB TO IT THAT MOST OF THE TIME WE REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT THE PERSON IS SAYING, OR WHY THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE MONEY. WE ALL SPEND AT LEAST FIVE DOLLARS A DAY ON SOMETHING WE DON'T REALLY NEED, IT WOULD BE NICE TO THINK ABOUT PUTTING IT TOWARDS SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW OUT. EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR ON THE WAY TO THE GOAL COUNTS JUST AS MUCH AS ANOTHER. NO MATTER WHAT YOU CAN GIVE, IT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. PLEASE PASS THIS WEBSITE ON TO WHOEVER YOU KNOW THAT LIKES KIDS, LOVES ME (EASY), OR JUST LIKE TO PROSPECT AND INVEST IN A CHEAP BEER IN THE FUTURE.


I still have about $800 or so dollars to raise for this young folks. Though I look forward to spending the American Express points that will go along with my paying the charity this money myself...I would much rather everyone out there join hands, sing a song of hope and throw a few bucks in to the pile. Remember, you get free beer on sunday after the race.....its a win win situation.
