10 Days To Go!
Time for another update!
It’s been a very busy past week weeks. Well, actually it has been a very busy past few months. It’s hard to believe that there is less than 10 days before the marathon! Anyway, now that we are getting close to the big day, we really want to ramp up on raising money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Brooklyn and Queens. So here is what we are going to ask from you:
1.) If you have not yet donated, then please go to http://charitymarathoners.tumblr.com/post/77543038/donate and donate to our cause! It doesn’t matter if you can only donate $1 or $100, everything counts.
Actually, we definitely would prefer that donations come in person or through the mail. In person is best. So, if that is possible, use that option. If for some reason it is not possible, then you can use paypal, but they charge a small fee, so we’d prefer you to use the other options.
2.) If you have donated, then please spread the word to everyone you know about our cause. I am talking about your mother and father, your children, your aunts and uncles, nephews, nieces, grandparents, great-grandparents, second-cousins once-removed, professors, classmates, friends, enemies, friends of your friends, friends of your enemies, enemies of your enemies, enemies of your friends’ enemies, EVERYONE! Tell them about us and ask them if they would like to donate.
If they say they would like to donate, then you can either collect the donation from them and give it to us, or you can send them to http://charitymarathoners.tumblr.com. Or both.
3.) Andrew was recently featured in an article for The Torch (I wasn’t featured with him because I write for the Torch.) If you want to read it, go here:
They got a few things wrong in the article. For one thing, Andrew does not run for 3 hours EVERY DAY. We ran up to three hours once a week. Also, they forgot to mention our website where people can donate. But overall it is a good article!
We really appreciate everyone who has donated or shown us some sort of support over the last few months. It really means a lot to both of us!
Thanks for reading and if you are a fellow college student, then good luck with the last few weeks of class and finals!
Remember to donate and spread the word! Thanks for all your help!
