Raffle to Remember

For the second year in a row, Rachel and I will be dedicating 16 hours of continuous activity on the longest day of the year -  June 21st - to raise awareness and money for the fight against Alzhiemer's disease.

We will be running on a local high school track, switching off - one hour on, one hour off, from 5am til 9pm.  Last year was so incredible - we can't wait to see what this year brings.


   

 
We need YOUR help!


Please consider making a donation to the Alzheimer's Association by visiting our fundraising page. Every little bit helps, and you'll be rewarded for your generosity with a chance to win some AWESOME prizes. 


Here's how it works:

 
For every $5 you you donate, you'll get one entry into the raffle. 

Additionally, for every $25 you donate, you'll get three bonus entries.


And here are some additional ways to earn entries once you've donated:

Spread the word on your blog = +1 entry

Share on Twitter = +1 entry

Share on Facebook = +1 entry

(We also offered everyone who donated prior to this post one bonus entry)


So! Here are some examples:

  You donate $20, and link this post on your facebook, you get
 5 entries! (4 + 1)

You donate $30, and tweet about the raffle, you get 12 entries!  (6 + 5 + 1)


The raffle will be open til Sunday, June 23rd, and we'll announce the winners on Tuesday, June 27th.


And one more thing! Please let us know if there is someone that you love that fought or is fighting this terrible disease, and we'd be honored to carry their name around the track with us on June 21st. 


So, to recap:



1. DONATE!  The "donate to team" link is a tiny little thing under the scrolling purple box. 

2. Share on your blog, Twitter, and Facebook.

3. Leave me a comment to let me know what you did so I can tally your entries.

4. Leave me a comment to let me know if you'd like to honor someone specifically,
and we'll make it happen.


*Any questions? Sent me an email at twinlane@live.com, or leave me a comment!*

Here's a still-growing list of our donated items (check back often for new prizes!):

  3. I've already donated and I don't trust my math skills to add up my entries. I'm going to tweet about it and I donated before this post so put me down for two bonus entries!

    Hope you and Rachel crush your goal this year!

  4. I found out about your blog and this cause thru InspiredEndurance! I've also found running to be my new love - this is such a great way to use that for a good cause! My grandmother, Jean Clare Burrows had Alzheimers for the last 5+ years of her life. I just donated $25.00 to you guys! Thanks for doing this!
