Here is how it could work;
You make a promise to donate something per mile. If I finish it will be 13 miles total. It could be whatever amount you choose and whatever charity you choose, it's kind of an "on your honor" thing. You post it here and it is up to you to go ahead and send it in when I finish.
Kind of late to do this I know, but I thought it would be a fun way to keep me motivated each mile. If I knew I had X amount of dollars riding on me it will push me forward. I've been known to do things for a mere $20 that would probably make you sick...umm, but thats another post...maybe another blog?
Like I said, pick whatever charity you want. Need a good one? I would love it if you picked Share Our Strength, an organization devoted to feeding America's hungry.
And hey, if you are strapped for cash, that's OK, make it an IOU... I know your good for it!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot....what do YOU get in return? My admiration and love...AND a photo of me crossing the finish line, personally e-mailed to you! That's right, after 3 years of blogging, you could finally see what FatBlogger looks like!
Pretty damn tempting isn't it? How much is it worth to ya?
(photo availability determined by Houston Marathon's official photographer "Briteroom", and could take a week or two to get...offer not good for employees of Fatblogger or it's affiliates. Blah, Blah, blah...why are you still reading this?)
Who is your favorite candidate for President? I know--John McCain, right? *snicker* I will donate twice as many dollars as your miles, OK? Let me know.
