4 for Facebook






Please help me in my fight against cancer.

This weekend I will be riding in the 2010 Pan Mass Challenge. Over 2 days (August 7 & 8) I will ride my 20-year-old Cannondale over 153 miles to raise funds for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. If your life has been affected by cancer, this is a chance for you to help find a cure.

My goal is to raise $3,400. Any contribution, no matter how small will be greatly appreciated. You conveniently and quickly make a donation on the Jimmy Fund's secure website.

*New this year: text PMCAG0007 to 20222 to donate $10 to my ride. You will have to reply "yes" to the confirmation text message. You can give up to four more times from the same phone number.

So why the subject line "Four for Facebook?" If each of my Facebook friends gave just $4, I would reach my goal. But thanks to the generous contributions already received, I need just $1/ friend. You can go to the secure website and make a $1 donation right now -OR- you can text the number above and then say to your friend "buy me a drink, I just gave to a good cause," - two drinks if it's happy hour. (Also, it is not necessary to be my friend on Facebook in order to donate.)

Thanks to those who have already given and those who soon will.
