Please send Duane and Christina packing - to the summit of Yosemite's Half Dome! What better way to get in shape, lose weight, and raise money for a good cause all at the same time?
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training organization has agreed to train us in fitness and endurance hiking. Our goal is to hike from valley floor to the summit of Half Dome on June 20, 2009.
The catch is, besides getting fit, we each need to raise $3,200 in donations for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We ask for your help in this challenge.
Your donations will make a difference in many lives. And, this is a high-leverage deal you cannot pass up; it is far better than a Ponzi scheme! Duane's employer Google will generously match your gift (to Duane only). And our federal government guarantees you a 30% return on your investment in one year! Your gift grows three times larger:
For a $100 donation, your net cost after taxes is about $65. Your $100 plus Google's match becomes $200. All of this will go to cancer research and patient services; we've handled our training costs.
We'll be hiking in honor of:
- Loren Sand
- Christina & Duane's Mom & Dad
- Louise Sciutti
- Rose Capurro
- Peter Gnemmi
- Gene Berman
- Dr. Mitchel Berger
- Dr. Michael McDermott
- Dr. Bruce O. Berg
- All of the incredible volunteers of the To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation
We'll be hiking in memory of:
- Elizabeth Burkhalter Ruyle
- Toni Sciutti
- George Berry, KC6ULT, SK
- Sara LaBoskey
Please make a donation to support our participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
We hope you will visit this blog often. We'll be posting updates on our progress. Thanks for your support!
