volksdragon: (Workout)
I'm participating in a charity race in a few weeks, an event called the Race Against Leukemia (RAL). Sponsored by the New England Region (NER) of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), the RAL weekend seeks to generate funds for the UMass Medical Center Memorial Leukemia Foundation. This is an event with a more than 20-year history, illustrating how dedicated NER is to giving something back to the community.

So how does it work, and what can you do? Drivers (that's me) collect donations or pledges, and for every $10 of donations I gather, I get one free lap of the course we set up to run on (One "Run"). I can also spend my "Runs" on giving free rides to other drivers, as well as buying some "hecklers" to put into other people's cars to good-naturedly distract them from going faster than me. :)

There are no prizes for winning. This is just a fun race solely for generating donations for the UMass Medical Memorial Center Leukemia Research. We're racing for fun, and for the fight against Leukemia!

Here's the flyer (in PDF format) of what the weekend is about. http://www.ner.org/reg/06RAL/RAL3_2006Letter_Size.pdf

As this is a charity, this is a tax deductible donation, and I can send you a receipt (via signed PDF)

While $10 buys me a run at the course, feel free to donate less than that. I can add up donations as necessary.

So, reply here if you wish, or at VolkScirocco@gmail.com if you prefer more anonymous donations. All donations must be pledged by Noon on at 8/25. Checks are OK, paypal is OK, and if you live local, cash, coins, doubloons and gold bars are acceptable currency. Please make the payment out to me, and I will make out one single check to UMass Medical Memorial for the weekend to cover all the differing ways of payment. :)

Thanks in advance, friends!
