Cystic Fibrosis: "Climb for a Cure"

[saavedra77]

OK, I realize this is more or less a last-minute appeal, but this is for a good cause:

I've just been recruited to participate in the 17th Annual Washington State Stair Climb for Cystic Fybrosis. If you're not familiar with this sort of thing, it's essentially a publicity stunt for charity. By signing up as a Stair Climb sponsor (at whatever level you can afford), you can contribute to a cure for C.F.--and, less importantly, support my "team," Stair Tactics!

Man, if I ever get that stair-climbing wheelchair I'm so doing this.

Much too broke to sponsor, but go you for doing it!

Thanks very much for the encouragement! And don't worry about the rest: I understand completely. I'm running myself because I'm too poor to contribute, at the moment.

But if you ever are in a wheelchair race, let me know: I'd love to sponsor you!

Wheelchair athletics seem to be for folks with spinal injuries almost exclusively, or for folks in unpowered wheelchairs at least. There's not much point in racing motors, at least not for an 'actual' race.

I may do the SF Bay to Breakers some day anyway, to encourage friends who'll be walking it.

I've been wondering if I could arrange a chronic fatigue stay-in-bed-a-thon! A run just seems so inappropriate. :)

I will pledge $1 for every floor you climb. I believe that's $56 if I'm not mistaken? I'll submit my pledge on Wednesday, because that's payday. Go get 'em!

THANKS! That's great!!!

And, yes, it is 56 floors--although, to be honest, that's going to be divided between me & 2 other people on my team (it's basically a relay race).

I'm pledging to the team, then! :)

Cool! Can't believe today's the day, already. We'll be thinking of you.

Take care and don't slip in the snow on your way over there!

I'm here via ladyavalon42, and in memory of a very speical little girl who has touched the lives of people she never even met, I too will donate $1 for each floor you climb, $56 total. Buena suerte!
