TEAM BDO

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I will be running the Marine Corps Marathon in October for BeatingDebt.org.

BeatingDebt.org is dedicated to convincing people to stay away from debt.  In this time of high impact marketing, we need an organization that is trying to educate consumers that we don't have to buy, buy, buy to become happy.  Consumerism is destructive to our finances, to our society, and to our environment. 

I am running for BDO to help them increase their educational ads budget, so they can be an alternate voice to the marketers, corporations, and government telling us to buy, buy, buy.  Overspending and debt does not lead to happiness.  http://www.beatingdebt.org/EducationalAds.htm

The 26.2 mile race will be fun and exciting.  To see all the fun, events, and training check out my training.

 

Please join with me as I try to raise $2620 for BDO by donating a minimum of $26.20. 

Other Giving Levels:

$5 - Amount BDO spends per day on Educational Ads online.

$26.20 - A dollar a mile for the marathon.

$32.00 - A dollar a week of training.

$60.00 - Amount to help those in the Keeping Pace group.

$300.00 - Amount to put Educational Ads on a billboard.

$430.00 - The time in hours I hope to finish the marathon.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
