Hi, my name is Mark Messbarger . I have been a police officer for the City of Merriam, Kansas , for over seven years.  I have volunteered for numerous fundraising events to raise donations for Special Olympics Kansas while employed with the Police Department.  I have also participated in the Kansas Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics since 2003.  

This year, I will again be participating in the LETR.  It will be held on May 27, 2008.  Each year, this event gives me the opportunity to raise funds to benefit Special Olympics Kansas.  

Donating through this site is simple, fast, and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make donations to Special Olympics Kansas, which is a nonprofit organization in the state of Kansas .  It receives no federal, state or Kennedy funds and is not a United Way agency.  All funds are obtained through public and private donations.

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