If you want to have a $5.00 card reading at a street fair, and you realize that the person reading your cards may or may not be “legit” as far as being a gifted psychic, by all means, go right ahead and enjoy yourself. However, if you have a $5.00 card reading, and the person reading your cards tells you that there is some bad luck around you, or a curse, or that they can light candles to remove the negative energy around you – RUN! Do NOT give them any more of your hard-earned money. This is a SCAM. You do not need to pay someone to light a few dollar store candles and yell “BOOGA, BOOGA!!!” in the light of the next full moon for you. Really, you don’t.

SARK really wanted to share more about Dream Boogie with you, so she invites you to you enjoy this inspiring 5-minute romp through Dream Boogie called…the Dream Boogie Share Show.

If I don’t raise it, I don’t get to participate in the marathon I’ve been training so hard for, and I will be a VERY unhappy camper! Do you REALLY want to be one of the reasons I don’t get to do this? Think of how miserable I’ll be to be around! Do you REALLY really want to inflict THAT torture on yourself???

More importantly, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will fall short of their target. so I am asking you to Gimme 5!

1. Gimme 5 minutes of your time – go to my website at

http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/wdw11/cmartzinek (or http://tinyurl.com/crawlcarolcrawl2011) I can also accept PayPal donations at mscarolm@nyc.rr.com

2. Gimme 5 bucks – just donate online (at my website above): five dollars for a great cause – and hey if you want to donate more fantastic! PLUS you get to see your name up in lights on my fundraising page! If you’re unable to do that, then please…

3. Gimme 5 friends – send this to five friends and help me spread the word!

4. $25 pays for a patient’s chemotherapy prescription co-pay or a taxi ride home from a chemotherapy treatment. $50 registers 1 person to be a bone marrow donor.

5. Every 5 minutes someone new is diagnosed with a blood cancer – money for research is desperately needed – so donate now.

In case you’re wondering how the money you donate helps those facing blood cancers, here’s an idea of where your donation money could go:

• $25 could pay the taxi fare for a patient’s ride home from the hospital after treatment
• $50 could register one person to be a bone marrow donor
• $75 could provide HLA (bone marrow) typing for a family member of a patient with leukemia
• $100 could pay the cost of 4 patients’ chemotherapy drug prescription co-pays
• $300 could train 25 peer volunteers to provide emotional support to newly diagnosed patients
• $1,000 could allow a patient to meet with health care specialists to design and discuss their disease and treatment plan
• $3,000 could provide a patient with a one month supply of Gleevec (a life-saving drug, developed through LLS research funding, used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia)

Thanks for your support to help fight blood cancers.

I was shopping in the Clearance section on the Columbia House DVD site, trying to use up a $6 credit on my account before I lose it. While I was doing that, I received an e-mail from one of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society mentor coordinators regarding my upcoming stint as a TNT Fast Track mentor.

What are the chances of there being a movie by my Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training Disney Marathon honoree, the late actor Cliff Gorman, among the 11 clearance DVDs?

Yeah, that’s what I thought:-) And yes, I bought it.

I’ve taken leave of my senses and signed up to walk a marathon. As in a 26.2 MILE marathon for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training.

For the past several weeks, I have been training to walk a full marathon in my favorite place on earth, Walt Disney World. I’m also working to raise $3,700.00 to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am walking in memory of my late friend Cliff Gorman, who died from leukemia in 2002.

How do I know Spirit agrees? I made a deal with Spirit and The Peanut Gallery that any money I found would get donated to my Team in Training efforts. After every training session, I’ve found a penny to donate to the cause. Granted, theyr’e being a bit cheap, and I keep asking for the fives and twenties, but the pennies are at least a sign that they’re rooting for me!

From now through the end of October, I will be holding an online Tastefully Simple party, and the consultant has generously offered to donate 20% of the total sales to Team in Training on my behalf. If you would like to help by purchasing delicious food and holiday gifts, please e-mail me with “Tastefully Simple – TNT” in the subject, and I will send you a link so that Team in Training gets credited for the sale.

Anything you can do to help me get the word out, and raise needed funds in this challenge will be greatly appreciated! If you have a facebook page or web site, and can place a link to my Team in Training page on it, it would help so much!

Thanks!

I have a very ambitious (as in $3,700) fundraising goal to meet between now and December.

If you can help me get the word out and support my efforts by placing a widget on your facebook page, that would be totally awesome! It’s easy to do:

Just go to http://apps.facebook.com/lls-fundraising/

On the right-hand side is the option to add the widget to your page in support of a friend. My fundraising page address to enter into the box is is

http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/wdw10/cmartzinek

Allow the application to access your profile, etc. and when it takes you to your facebook page, click the “keep” button to add it to your page. When it’s done, you should see a Team in Training box on your facebook profile.

If you have a blog or web page and would be so good as to add a link like this to my Team in Training page, that would help tremendously, too!
