Vote!

As part of my Ironman training, I am training with the Team In Training running group for the San Diego Rock in Roll Marathon. Along with the training, I also get to fundraise for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which is pretty awesome. I get to help in the fight against cancer, which is a cause near and dear to my heart.

You may have seen my Bikini Run video, which happened because I met my fundraising goal for the 2009 Honolulu Marathon, well this time around, I've changed the stakes (who doesn't like a challenge, right?!). Fundraising should be FUN, so in order to add a sense of fun and goofiness there are now 3 Bikini Run options that you can vote for by donating through my site to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Why? Because I'm totally cool with public humiliation if it means we will one day find a cure for a cancer!!

Here's how it will work:

1. Decide on your gift amount, which determines how many votes you get:


$1-$24 = 1 vote
$25-$49 (Star Level) = 2 votes
$50-$99 (Super Level) = 3 votes
$100-$249 (Silver Level) = 4 votes
$250-$499 (Gold Level) = 5 votes
$500-$999 (Platinum Level) = 10 votes
$1,000+ (Titanium Level) = 20 votes
 
(You can split up your votes between options, but the more you donate, the more you can influence the outcome of this adventure!)
 
2. Then go to our website and donate (it's 100% tax deductible): VOTE HERE
 
3. After you make your donation, let us know what you vote for in the "comments" section. (We will also follow up with you and find out what you want to see happen.)
 
Here are your options to vote on for Bikini Fun....
 

Option 1 involves Lindsay and I donning bikinis and riding the MAX train from the Lloyd Center all the way to the Zoo (at least 20+ minutes of public embarrassment). In the comments, type "MAX" and vote for this option.

Option 2 involves Lindsay and I running in bikinis in the location of your choosing (one loop around the Portland Waterfront = 30+ minutes of public embarrassment and spectatorship for you). In the comments, type "RUN" and vote for this option.

Snow or not, Option 3 involves Lindsay and I heading to Mt. Hood to ski, snow board, or snow shoe in bikinis (Burr, this will be cold AND embarrassing!). In the comments, type "SKI" and vote for this option.
 
You have until April 29th to donate and cast your vote! If we raise $6,000 by that deadline, then my friend Lindsay and I will do the winning option on the weekend of April 30th!
 
Stay tuned...more Bikini Fun to come!
