We're Not Asking For A Handout Just A Hand
New wheels. New bearings. Pre-skate check in completed. I'm all set for this weekend's seventy five mile inline skate from Hinckley to Duluth to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. I can't think of anything more that I could possibly need.
Oh yeah. One more thing.
MORE PLEDGES! NOW!
Our team(which I proudly captain) has a goal to raise two grand and we ain't there quite yet. The good news is that there still is time, in fact we can actually accept and collect pledges up to a month after the event. The bad news is we still have a ways to go and need your help to get there. NOW!
Click here to make a pledge using PayPal or if you don't feel comfortable with that method simply drop me a note at rightwinger23@hotmail.com and I'll let you know where to send a check.
Without your continued support we won't be able to bring such fine programs as Masterpiece Theat....
Sorry, I got a little too into the PBS fundraising mode there. I was about to start describing the fabulous tote bags that we had available.
But seriously this is a very good cause and it does require quite a bit of effort on our part. Inline skating is not without its perils as the Atomizer can well attest to. He lost the skin on roughly 20% of his body (and he doesn't have much to spare either) the other day as a result of a dust up while blading. Reports vary as to cause of the mishap but we believe we have narrowed it down to a couple of possibilities:
1. He noticed an inch worm in the path at the very last moment and being the lover of all creatures great and small that he is, attempted to swerve to avoid it and lost control. He gave the skin off his kneecaps so that the worm might live.
2. He fell short in a heroic attempt to jump Springfield Gorge. Witnesses report hearing the words "I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it! This is the greatest feeling in the world!" seconds before he plummeted to the earth.
So when you're sitting around the apartment this weekend clad only in boxers, eating a block of cheese, drinking malt liquor, and watching C-Span II in the desperate hope that Michelle Malkin will be featured on a book symposium (yes I'm looking at you Saint Paul) take a moment and remember those of us who'll be out there on the trail laying it on the line.
Make a pledge now and you'll feel a little less guilty about your guilty little pleasures this weekend.
