Hey everyone! I just registered for the "Big Climb", a Seattle fundraising event toward fighting blood cancer. I’m not one to just ask for handouts for nothing, so for every $10 raised, I will commit to an hour on the stair master, in preparation for the event. There are 107 weekdays before the race starts, so I'll commit to up to 100 training hours for this. I hate cardio. Don't miss your chance to put me through the ringer! Also, any donation amount will enter you into a drawing for a CMF minifigure.Also also, donations of $10 or more will enter you into a drawing for a copy of General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom! (every $10 donated will earn you an additional drawing entry - $20 = 2 entries) Get those donations in early so I have some training hours to start working off! If you want to be entered for the drawings above, please comment below and PM me with your donation amount if you're over $10. I'll keep a spreadsheet of participants for the larger raffle. DONATE HERE Thanks in advance for your generosity toward this great cause!

Put some loose lego on that stair master to really raise the 'no pain no gain' threshold.
Didn't even know blood cancer was a thing. Heard a stat that 1 in 2 people will get some sort of cancer, which is pretty terrifying. Will look into it and let you know when I've donated.

I'm surprised that there hasn't been more interest in this. Do I need to reduce it to $5 per raffle entry? Or are most people on here just not old enough to have a credit card or paypal?
FYI, I actually got two copies of this, one to raffle and one for myself, and I have to say that I'm impressed with the build and some of the parts so far. Pretty fun set!

I am too young, and I think you are mostly right there . Not many people thoroughly explore these forums in the first place, and I dare say many are TFoLs.

I am, but you'd be only the second entry for the prize drawing, haha. I'll need to redouble my efforts so you have some competition!

Thank you sir!
To tag people, use the "@" symbol and then the user's login name (which is different than their display name, in some cases).

I thought I might be able to do it by paypal, but not too keen putting my card details in there, so let me know if I can just bob you some money over another way.

andhe, if you'd rather send me the donation via PayPal, I'll be happy to do the donation process on your behalf through the site. That goes for anyone else who is in a similar situation, or who doesn't have a credit card

I've discovered that an hour on the StairMaster is literally impossible. I've had to ammend this to each $10 being worth one training session the full 69 floors of the event, which takes me about 16 heart-pounding, nausea-inducing, sweat-pouring minutes.
And of course, you get a raffle entry for each $10 donated, so keep them coming in!

Reminder that this event is less than a month away now, and I'm still looking for more people to join the raffle! So far, it's just Gunnarr Leidolf, SEdmison, and a friend of mine from Facebook, Karen. If you don't have a way to donate through the site, you can PayPal me and I'll make the donation on your behalf. Please consider donating to this important cause! Thanks!
