OT - AIDS Walk 2008

by BaronVonCurrentEvents on Jul 11, 2008 3:36 PM PDT

I'm doing the AIDS Walk again this year, my second year in a row. Last year I raised over $700, due in no small part to the generous McCoven.

I held off on asking for donations until I knew I'd be 100% for the walk. I hurt my leg in May and had an epic struggle just to walk normally without pain until about two weeks ago. The event is a week away and I am ready to go.

So please donate to a very worthy cause. I'm unofficially part of a team named in honor of Rod Beck--Team Shooter. When you donate you're helping people in the Bay Area who really need it, and you're honoring the memory of a great Giant and an even better man.

Donate!: https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=268684&lis=1&kntae268684=78485085ACC84123BF9DBF6B82C2BD8F&supId=181259011 And thank you!

I will embezzle the 311town treasury and kick some do-ray-durham your way.

I'm adopting a true Giant and an awe-inspring gamer: tk. "Atta babe."

Thank you! Also would you mind rallying the troops and getting this post recc’d so I can get more skrilla? You know, for the peeps.

Plastic and Paypal. There’s also an option to print out a donation form and mail a check in. They take donations up to a few weeks after the walk, too.

Cool beans. I’ll pitch in on this (PayPal is good for us lazy folks that don’t wanna go find their wallet). Have a good walk!

Thank you. I’m also doing the Project Open Hand Plate to Plate 5K in late August. I’ll be hitting you all up in a month or so again for money. The event raises money for community nutrition needs through programs for people living with HIV/AIDS, the homebound/critically ill, and seniors.

Also please let me know when your MS Walk is, if it hasn’t already passed. I’ll donate in your name.

Donated! Kick some ass out there.

Wise-ass remarks...

Please choose one:
1) But you’re a Giants fan—you can’t take a walk!
2) Giants fan + Hurt leg = Ray Durham joke
3) I ain’t giving you no money for no gay cancer!

Non-wise-ass remark: Good on ya for doing this, and that is very cool about the Rod Beck tribute. Hope your leg continues to feel good.
