Donation link

Hey Juicers. A good friend of mine, Reid Sacco, lost a battle 5 years ago to cancer. He was an incredible person worthy of another post in the future. In his honor, every year there is a 28-mile bike-a-thon, Reid’s Ride, that starts in my hometown of Lynnfield and travels up the north shore of Boston ending at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, MA.

Each rider is required to earn $175 dollars or so in sponsorships in order to partake in the ride. The money goes towards the Reid Sacco Memorial Foundation and towards research to find a cure for cancer in young adults. It is, of course, a good cause.

I have never been very good at earning sponsorship. I am not very good at soliciting donations. Normally my parents sponsor me the minimum amount required to partake in the event. This year, however, I thought I would appeal to the good side of you juicers to help register me for this event and sponsor the good fight. I do not mean to use this blog as a platform for solicitation, but you are all my friends and oddly enough adults at this point in time and it seems like the appropriate place for me to ask for your help.

I would like to try to earn a minimum of $200 for this event through Juice sponsorships. Anything that you can donate would be ever so appreciated. $5, $10, $50, anything. I have never asked my friends for money like this. If we are able to make the minimum, I will do the ride with a juicetheblog.com logo affixed to my shirt. A true juicetheblog sponsorship!

I have set up a paypal donation link for the event here. Please forgive the poor appearance of the website: I just wanted to get something up and running. As a note, donations through paypal do suffer a small service charge. I wanted to offer it as a means of convenience as it can accept any major credit card. If you would like to donate through another means, I can give you my mailing address or we can work something else out.

The ride is on July 18th, so there isn’t much time to lose! Thanks Juicers! I love you all!
