MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

Many of you know that one of my closest friends and senior member on here has MS (please don't post or ask his name as he doesn't like to publicize it). I am going to be doing the MS River Run to raise money to find a cure for MS on Aug. 19th and 20th. They raised $115,000 last year.

It is a motorcycle ride from St. Paul to La Crosse. I need to raise $200 per person (I am covering all the other fees). Hopefully I can come up with enough donations for 2 people. All of this money gets donated to MS research.

You can paypal money to jet_mn@yahoo.com .

If anyone else has ideas for other ways to raise money, please post them.

Im down. If I can ride your bike for awhile. Ehhh maybe not, then mine seems so damn slow afterwards.

Is that the lightning run?

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

No, it is the River Run. I am really surprised by the lack of support. Maybe I need to clarify a bit more.

I need people to put up a pledge for me, all proceeds will go to MS research. This is like the MS bike-a-thon that they do. We have already recieved quite a few pledges from family members. 100% of the money goes to MS research.

I'll send you some money this afternoon or tomorrow. I did the MS150 earlier this year, and I was really impressed with the way that the MS Society puts on an event. Everything was very professional and seemed to go off without a hitch. Plus it's a worthy cause too.

Jana will send some cabbage as well. She was a year late with Mark's ride ;) we'll send this off tonight.

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

Very funny.... yeah, I can send money to you as well. I usually only do a donation to one person each year, but I didn't realize you were doing that this year.

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

I tried to do it last year, but I already had other plans. It is a go for this year though!

Thanks for the support y'all!

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

I have done this already, however i've done the Duhluth to Anoka Bike ride, not motorcicle, but a bike... I already have pledged 2 other friends who do it every year, if i didn't already pledge them i would of given you a pledge for sure..

I'll see if i get few more tows i'll give you a pledge as well..

I haven't received any support on this yet. I expected a bit more suport since someone many of us know is affected by this. This is 100% tax deductible and I can provide a receipt to anyone. This is put on by the National MS Society. I have to pay for hotel and entry fee besides the $400 mandantory donations, so it would be nice if I could get the $400 covered, all of which goes to the MS Society. We are right around $200 right now.

I know some of you will chip in, even $10 helps, and I appreciate the support.

Have a good time!

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

I sent something through Paypal. Good luck and ride safe. If you get a chance, post pics afterwards.

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

Sorry, JET, I forgot to send the money to you.... I'll have Allan paypal you tonight. :)

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

Thanks Outlaw and Brandon, that helps a lot!! I'll try and get some pic's, but there isn't much storage room on my bike :D I'll try out my new camera phone.

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

No problem, make me proud son!

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

badda bing, you've got cash.

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

Thanks AJ and Jana! I'll get some pic's of all the bikes up. I still haven't met the pledge minimum, but I am much closer. If anyone else wants to chip in, that would be great!

Re: MS ride - Sponsorship needed
 

You're welcome for the donation, JET.

Now pony up you cheap bitches.

If someone 1,300 miles away can pitch in, then you can too.

Help him out with whatever you can, you know it's going to a great cause that needs your help.
