My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

If you know me, you know that I truly enjoy supporting my friends and family in their fundraising efforts.  You also know that there's no place I would rather be than Tiger Stadium on a Saturday.  The Special Olympics is a great organization, and they are giving fundraisers a great opportunity.  On Saturday, November 21st, I will have the chance to go Over the Edge and rappel down Tiger Stadium!  That's because my friends have helped me raise at least $1,000 for the Special Olympics.  But why stop there?  I'm shooting for more for this great organization because my wife, Laurie, also wants to rappel.  If we can get to $2,000, she will have the chance to go Over the Edge also!  Please consider donating what you can.  Below is the official release for the Over the Edge event.

"Special Olympics Louisiana will hold this unique event for the first time in the Greater Baton Rouge Area to benefit the more than 12,000 athletes involved in the program. This fundraiser will feature a “once in a lifetime”opportunity to rappel down Louisiana State University Tiger Stadium. All participants will be treated like VIPs while their supporters cheer them on during their thrilling descent!"

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!
