GREETINGS FROM 

THE CLOT BUSTER

Dear Friends!

It is been a long while since I've come along to do a fundraising event.  Although the last couple of years I've been racing wearing the Clot Buster polka-dots to spread the word about blood clots and blood clottting disorders it is time once more to set a goal and try to achieve it WITH YOUR HELP!

This time however my fundraising effort comes with a twist...all of the funds I am able to raise will help me to design and produce new STOP THE CLOT cycling and triathlon jerseys that I hope to distribute to anyone who is willing to wear the CLOT BUSTER polka-dots during their upcoming events in ex-change of donations.

"Clot Buster Nation" is long over due for new specialized jerseys for all athletes willing to perform and spread the word about blood clots and blood clotting disorders in support of the work already done by the National Blood Clot Alliance through www.STOPTHECLOT.org .

I have a monumental task ahead of me 1.2 Miles to Swim + 56 Miles to Bike + 13.1 Miles to Run for a GRAND TOTAL OF 70.3 Miles at the 2011 WELLAND, Ontario Half-Iron Distance Triathlon... but I can only take on this challenge with your help!  Any amount you can contribute will greatly help in providing many Clot Survivor Athletes with the chance to get their own performace Clot Buster Polka-Dots and spread the word further about blood clos and blood cloting disorders.  You can read  more about the amazing inspirational stories from the Clot Survivors I have been able to feature on the "Athlete of the Month" series of posts on my blog  http://clot-buster-triathlete.blogspot.com/ .

Donating through this website is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.  Help us get polka-dots out there for all those interested in spreading the word.

MANY THANKS for your support!

Don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Kindest Rgards,

Roland "The Clot Buster" Varga
