[Wallet flies open]: Fuck MS

Some of you may remember this from last year–kommenters really came through big (OH YEAH!)–but I’m fundraising for the Bike MS Oregon ride again. I’ve done the ride–100 miles the first day, 50 the next–five times over the last six years or so, and it’s a great time. Unfortunately, thanks to a number of factors, I’m not going to be able to make it down and bike all those miles this year. It’s kind of a bummer.

HOWEVA, I still want to support the cause–combating MS and providing a better quality of life for those affected by it–and am still aiming to do some proper fundraising for it. I’m going to post the donation link below, and I really hope you will consider donating whatever you can.

While this year I can’t put on rainbow snakeskin hot pants and ride in them, I can at least entertain some sort of other humiliation. So, let’s hear it! I do have a goal in there of raising $2,000, and while I doubt I’ll be able to achieve that in time… fuck it, I’m going deep. Let’s go for as much as we can. Let’s get some ridiculous ideas going for each of the following tiers:

• $250 (the minimum required)
• $500
• $1,000
• $1,500
• $2,000

These could be done now, this year, or be held over to next year’s journey. Also, I have a digital download code for the ENTIRE 60’s Batman TV series that I haven’t used, and I will enter everyone who donates into a raffle for it–with extra entries for bigger donations, say, every $10? It’s so worth it. I also have a bunch of digital download codes for a variety of movies I haven’t used, so those may come into play as well.

I hope you’ll consider donating. The leader of the team I’ve been on for the ride has MS and she and her husband are close to having their first child. Thanks to the MS Society, she’s had a much easier go of life, and now she’s ready to pay attention to the next generation–so let’s help.
