Gimme Some Money

Hey everyone, I would like you to know that so far the PCD Fundraising Walk has been much more successful than I had anticipated. My goal this year was only $1,800.00 (compared to last year’s goal of 4K--which we surpassed!). As of this moment, we have raised $1,523.00. This does not include $400 of pledges that have yet to come in, plus the other money from people who have promised to help but have not stated a specific amount yet. Several of the good people who came to the walk event on Saturday told me they are still in the midst of asking for donations. So there is more to come!

I couldn’t be happier. Unless of course, you are someone who has not yet found the time to donate. Please consider it if you have the means to do so! It’s quite easy--you just go to the PCD Foundation website and click on the “donate now” link on the left. It takes you to a secure Paypal site. When you get to the "Review Your Payment" page, please click on "optional message" link (a little white plus sign in a blue square on the left) and write "San Diego Walk" in the drop-down box that appears. I know many of us don’t have any substantial funds to spare this year; it’s been tough for a lot of people. But even five little dollars will help, if you have it. Or three, or TWO! I want my two dollars!! If you can't, then my sympathies are with you and I wish you luck and support, since you need it as much if not more than we do.

While you’re at our website, why not browse around for a bit? Wouldn’t you like to know where your money is going? PCD is actually quite a fascinating disease; not usually fun to have, to be sure, but really interesting to learn about. I bet some of you didn’t even know that all of my internal organs are arranged backwards from yours! If that isn’t cool then I don’t know what is...

Here’s the photo of all the wonderful folks who took the time to not only extort money from their friends and coworkers, but to show up on a Saturday morning to walk around a lake in Mira Mesa with me in a much appreciated display of solidarity. There are six unpictured people who deserve credit but missed the photo shoot--Kiki, Iv, Sophia, Lisa, Jennifer (represented by her happy doggy) and Brett. Look closely--these are all very special people.


And since I used their song for the title of this post, here's the special bonus of a happy little Spinal Tap video.
