Help this strapping Canadian lad off his knees and on the streets!!!

So... if you haven't heard, our resident Canadian Chewer Brendan (it's true, Trejo) has once again signed up with the Arthritis Society to fundraise, train, and run in the 2009 Walt Disney World Marathon this coming January.

I heard you Chewers came through for him during his fund-raising efforts for the last marathon he ran. I wasn't a very active member then, but I was more than happy to contribute to the cause this year. So far, I'm in the pleasant company of:

summer smile
Tati
Will Kane
Jared Melton
Chris Olson
Trejo
Shen Annigans
The Anonymous StRENNger

But it would be great to see even more people on this list. I want everyone.

What do I mean everyone?

...


In fact, summer smile has put forth a challenge. If 10 Chewers other than herself make a contribution by Sunday night (that's tomorrow, September 21st), she'll donate a bonus $25. That makes 8 people so far. We need 2 more people to contribute any amount they're comfortable giving so that summer's gasoline tank will be just a little bit more empty than usual! I think we can do it!

It's really easy too. Just click on the link below to make an online donation.

It's pretty self-explanatory.

Maybe if we reach a certain amount, we could convince Brendan to punch the guy in a Mickey Mouse costume or something...

I would donate, but for my lack of funds. I can offer moral support!

And besides, I'm a fatty. He wouldn't want my filthy, fat-tainted lucre anyway.

I spent my money on weed and beer. You know, the essentials.

Only because everyone still thinks I'm Mexican, and Mexicans ne'er dare travel this far North.

Sorry but I spent all my money on keeping other fine strapping Canadians on their knees on the streets. Is strapping a good term to use for a woman? Am I actually talking about a woman? Should I stop talking?

In all seriousness though I'd be happy to donate but I'm not financially able to at the moment. Best of luck though to Brendan.

Scuttlebutt on the street says there are EIGHT Chewers who have contributed.

Doing some math, that seems to leave TWO more donations needed to hit the Chewer Challenge!

TWO MORE CHEWER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED!!

Two more Chewers to donate something, anything that they're comfortable with - any amount!

Which awesome people are going to step up and help support the Arthritis Society (and a fellow Chewer)?

I can't wait to see.

The people of Florida or desperate for Brendan's presence! The terror that Mickey Mouse holds over its citizens are getting unbearable! One punch from Brendan is all it takes to restore peace and prosperity!!!

I actually, seriously don't. I'm legitimately concerned about being homeless in the near future.

Thanks, Jacob! You rock!

Now we're down to ONE. ONE MORE DONATION.


WE NEED ONE MORE DONATION TO MEET THE CHEWER CHALLENGE!


If someone could donate anything, I'd love to stop sounding like a Public Radio Pledge Drive shill. Heck, consider it a donation both to the Arthritis Foundation and to shut me up (please!)...

Thank you to that "strennger" and Jacob Singer! Thanks for the support guys!

And a special thanks to Mcnooj for creating this thread. I didn't know about this and it was a pleasant surprise to come home too. And of course Summer Smile for the continued support. Thanks to everyone who has contributed financially or through moral support. It really means a lot and it will help carry me through training and through the marathon!

Also... we just need one more!

Challenge met!

And I am proud to be a member of this board.

Thank you and awesome job, guys. I just (very happily) sent off the $25.00.

Also, just as a reminder, if someone wants to donate, but can't afford to do so now, I believe Brendan will be taking donations up through December.*


* that's my last shill for awhile, so you can all stop ignoring my posts, now.

I just got a seizure looking at that image.

And once again I'd like to thank everyone for their donations and moral support! It truly does mean a lot. I start training next week and all this support has really lifted my spirits quite significantly. Thanks again everyone!

That true Brendan? If we're talking through December I can donate.

Yep, donations can continued to be made pretty much right up until I leave for the marathon in early January.

It'll be early November before I have my current debts paid off, but I'll definitely get back to you Brendan.

If I wasn't unemployed and contemplating doing AIDS walk here I'd donate.
