Hey everyone, I’ll be running in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on June 9th and am hoping to get some donations from anyone on here. Every little bit counts, so even if it’s just $1, $5, $10 (you get the point), I’d greatly appreciate it. This is my 6th year participating in the event. I run in memory of my best friend’s mother, who lost her battle 5 and a half years ago. Our team, The White Carnations, has been the largest team participating in the race for the last four years and look to continue that again this year. Our goal is to raise $5000. Thanks so much everyone for the help!!

bump! 1 week from tomorrow and our team is definitely gonna need to scramble for donations. Anything is appreciated!! edit- Funny story for anyone who cares. But last year a buddy of mine donated $0.39 (what a dick!). He later tried using that same card for a transaction a few days later and was denied. After making a call to his CC company, they told him his card had temporarily been put on hold while they investigated potential suspicious activity, which had all started with his 39 cent donation. Karma :tup: ---

Weather held off and another fantastic event. The White Carnations once again took home the largest team award. If anyone happened to notice a bunch of guys with shaved heads or partially shaved heads, and blue shirts with BALD FOR BOOBIES on them, that was us!
