Own a piece of my IRONMAN race!
All proceeds will go directly to the fight against cancer!
Buy a mile or two (one for yourself and a friend!) of the 140.6 available, and you can live life knowing you personally helped built a path that will bridge me to the finish line and MORE importantly - helped improve the lives of cancer patients!
A donation of:
$25 for any Bike Mile
$50 for 2 Bike Miles
$100 for any Run Mile
$250 for any Swim Mile
2 Available Transition Slots: T2; T3
1 Avaiable Post Race Slot: T4 (celebration with drink in hand!)
How it Works
1. Make a donation using my sponsor link: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/VineFIrn10/mgroos
2. I will send you a big THANK YOU and ask which specific mile you'd like (i.e. Bike 100 or Run 13) or if no preference, I'll place in sequential numerical order.
3. Your name (or "anonymous" if you prefer) will go next to that mile and you then can choose to "plug" anything you like (that is PG rated) such as a website, business, or dedicate that mile in honor or memory of a special someone.
Important!
If your company matches email me (melrey8@hotmail.com), let me know and we'll either add another mile to your name or upgrade it accordingly!
Remember all donations are 100% tax deductible and will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help find a cure for blood cancers and improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their families! Because WE CAN make a difference!
The proud owners:
Lisa Max and Gary Tobin own every mile of my Vineman race (thanks guys!)
Gaspare and Daniel Indelicato and Gaspare Golf CharityTeam; Barb, Brad,Terry, Julietta and Robin all own every mile of my race. A special thanks to the tee sponsors and prize donors. Thank you again for helping charities one stroke at a time.
