Title: Bikers Against Diabetes - donation request
Post by: Privateer on March 14, 2011, 04:36:11 PM
In June I'll be riding with Bikers Against Diabetes to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.  i'm real close to my goal and was hoping some people here can help me meet and then exceed my goal.

If you can make a $5 tax deductible donation to the ADA by following the link below, I would really appreciate it:

thank you for your support.

First and foremost, thank you to everyone for your generous donations.

Secondly, thank you immensely Andy for your efforts to aid in helping find a cure.

I'd kick in a donation myself, but my donations, volunteer hours, and fund-raising efforts are all geared toward a very specific segment of the ADA.


Are you a diabetic Andy?  Just curious.

Really those thanks go to the very generous donations of my family, friends, and e-friends. :)

I'm not, but there is a definite lack of sportbike oriented charity rides around here.  When I decided I wanted to give back I looked around and liked the idea of Rip's BAD Ride, so I signed up last year and rode with all the pirates.

One of these things is not like the other... one of these things is not the same...


With the help of some very generous individuals my goal has been knocked on its ass.  If anyone else would like to contribute, the ADA would greatly appreciate it.

really it's the least I can do.  I tried to take a different appraoch this year because I know times are tough for more people, I thought if I could get 100 people to donate $5, I could kick some ass.  But most people weren't interested.  So I'm glad that I had a few very generous folks who were kind enough to donate pretty large amounts.

I'm still hoping for more.  need to hit up some of the people from work.

Minor suggestion.

Raise your goal on the fundraising website.

I've found that people are more likely to donate if you've not yet hit your goal.

I'm still hoping to get a handful or two more small donations.

Can you make a tax deductible $5 donation?

triple ditto donded.  happy to support this cause. [thumbsup]

maybe you should raise you goal (again).  you still have 2.5 mos to go.

Post by: Privateer on March 22, 2011, 06:27:59 AM
awww I wondered who that was.  Thanks again!

Yeah honestly I didn't think I'd get this much support.  A good problem to have I suppose.  I thought the way the economy is going I'd be really fighting.  But thanks to some very generous individuals I've kicked my original goal's ass twice over.

If I could get that next $10...

As a type 1 diabetic since the tender age of 22 I applaud your efforts, I wish you every success with your fund raising.

with the help of some very generous friends I've easily exceeded my fundraising goal.

The ride is this Sunday the 4th, if anyone else would care to throw in a $5 donation to bump me up further, I'd appreciate it
