cecdoo Posted August 22, 2008 Share #27 Posted August 22, 2008 I think this is a great idea, and I am sure gonna donate, Its also great that a few folks are throwing big bucks at this cause, but I hope we dont loose site of the fact that if just half our members donated just 5.00 each we would be well over 12 grand:fingers-crossed-emo Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were on our way and the donations have been coming in, and I'm not talking small ones! Thank you all that have donated to this, Bobbie and I really want to blow away the $3K minimum and if it keep up like this...we will. Just remember that every little bit helps, it's not about huge donations, but lots of small ones that will make this happen. Thank you again to all that have and are going to donate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Posted August 23, 2008 Share #31 Posted August 23, 2008 Put me down for $100. Since we are coming from all points of the compass, maybe we need several short rides into one Memphis location and then ride together to St. Judes. Just a thought. Keep us posted.

DragonRider Posted August 23, 2008 Share #33 Posted August 23, 2008 I had planned on doing that with the Atlanta area....getting a group for the ride...........we will need a few more from different areas to help co-ordinate and then plan on a meeting place..........Maybe we need to form a small committe to do this, we dont have a real long time to do this. Any volunteers.......... That sounds like a great idea Ozark Looks like Dragonrider has some coordination to do :cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jessica804 Posted August 23, 2008 Share #34 Posted August 23, 2008 I am a mom with a 8 year old who is now a cancer survivor after a little over 4 years of treatment. I think what you guys are doing is wonderful. St. jude's is an awesome place. My son was one of a few at the AFLAC cancer center in atl. who I let him participate in the research program while being treated. I was told it would not help him , but many more in the future. We (my parents and I organnize a bike ride every year for kids with cancer) and just knowing what and where the money goes feels great and having actually been there through all the pain of my son. I know you already have alot of people to get inked!! ButI don't have any money to donate but would donate a place on me to get inked.. IF it would help make more money.. As a mom of a cancer survivor,twice.. ( he relapsed once) .. So its like hearing the news twice.. To all..Best of luck and let me know if I can help...

Jessica:thumbsup2: Your post touches my heart deeply. You and your son are in our thoughts and prayers. There are only two of us getting tattooed for this particular fundraiser, but I see a potential for future fundraisers with volunteers such as yourself! Hope you will be able to join us on the ride to St. Jude's! Ride safe, Bobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
