Bike MS Donations... can we ask?

As mentioned below, I blogged it and my blog DOES have a permalink to TFP, so hopefully this is okay. From My Blog

Hi Everyone!

As some of you may know my mother, Lisa, has Multiple Sclerosis. She constantly suffers from vision loss, muscle spasms, cramps, or even temporary paralyzation of whole limbs. Some days her fatigue is so extreme that she can’t even get out of bed. Jen and I are doing this bike ride for her and for everyone else that suffers from MS. We want to raise money for research that will hopefully lead to more effective treatments and perhaps even a cure for MS (currently there is none). We need your help! Plus, hey… the donations are all tax-deductible!

Please feel free to forward this email on to family, friends and coworkers that you think might be interested in helping this very important cause.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to creating a world free of MS but they can’t do it without our help. It’s faster and easier than ever to support this cause that is SO important to me. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message, enter my name and complete the brief donation form. If you prefer, you can send your contribution to the National MS Society, Michigan Chapter at 21311 Civic Center Dr. Southfield, MI 48076. Please make sure you indicate my name so my account can be properly credited.

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.

Thank You!!

***The bike ride is May 31, so please hurry!!***

As I understand the rules (which is only vaguely), a link in the sig should be allowed

I think that's still only if the link links back to TFP. Since I have no control over the MS Society website, that I cannot do. *sigh*

Not to be too much of a rules lawyer, but if you had a personal blog detailing your experiences that linked heavily to the MS site, and also had permanent links back to TFP, that sounds like it would satisfy all the requirements.

thanks for that... edited the main post

Good luck to you in doing this, xeph, and let us know how it goes!

Hey everyone, we're getting pretty close to our goal (TotalMILF and I). We've been getting support from both forums I usually check out, so thank you! Our team goal was $1,000 and each of our personal goals was, of course, $500 (though mine was showing up as 250... how 500+250 = 1000 I'll never know... it's fixed now though). Even if anyone can put $5 towards it, it'll help us reach our pledge goal. I'd really appreciate it.

We have one week left before the ride, everyone. If you are feeling generous over this beautiful holiday weekend, please donate. It would help us out so much! Thank you!

Hey xephrys - good luck - I'm riding too in my town. 160km in a couple of weeks. Been busy training and fundraising. Got some roadrash to prove it. Here's hoping you have none !!!

Hehe, thanks Tirian... best of luck to you! :)
