The Komen Richmond group has issued a challenge to the teams
participating
this
year. The challenge starts today and ends on 19 April, four days after
Income
Tax day and my birthday.

SO...for those of you who have been biding your time, this would be a
great
opportunity to make that donation, and right here is the place to do
it.

Right now I'm in for $600, and I know you can get more money out of me
than
that.

Harry, you did very well last year...this year I'll double any
donation
you make
up to $250. Wow...you could get me for $500 all by yourself!

Come on folks. It's for a great cause!


Speaking about cancer research monies.....
Today is the 30th anniversary of the start of Terry Fox's run across
Canada.
He got halfway on one leg before cancer returned and claimed him. It's
up
to
us to 'finish that run' for him.
Already 500 million dollars have been raised in his name.

Looks like a worthwhile cause. Are you looking to match donations to
same?


I'm not on an Uncle Sam military pension like you Johnny.
I have to be frugal with my donations.


So that cause isn't worth a donation of any amount? Are you not getting a
pension from your government job? Actually, many folks not on government
pensions make donations to charities. Last year Harry donated, remember?


There you go Johnny... trying to makr lame points on the back of a good
charity.
Where did I say this cause isn't worth a donation of any amount?
I was referring to your suggestion that I match donations of others ... such
as you claim to do down there.


Don, I was talking only of *my* donation. I should have used the singular, I
suppose. Sorry for the confusion.

Well, in that case, you could simply make a small donation to the Komen
Foundation, and I will double your donation - up to a $100 donation.

How's that for a way to support a great cause?

As to my 'claim' to do so, it's easily verifiable. Once made the donation will
show up on the scrolling list, like all the rest of the donors.

A better way is to donate directly to the cancer society, and thereby
not have anything to do with you directly or indirectly.
