2nd Annual Lotus Charity Drive

Last year I throw out a challenge to the Lotus community to make the PMC charity event our virtual community charity drive. The Lotus community responded to the tune of $6,484.72!

Thank you to everyone that participated!

Overall this year’s events will be almost the same as last years. For one, I will be doing two unofficial events. A marathon, completed yesterday and second, a 148 mile one day bike ride. Why two unofficial events you might be asking?... guilt. My wife Johanna was so motivate during my ride last year that she has signed up for this year. Given that we have 3 small children it would be very difficult for both of us to do it. In response I’ve signed up for those other endurance events so you’d know that I would be suffering along side her . So if you would mind my wife is riding, but it’s in honor of the same boy, our oldest son Ethan.

Given the economic climate and a newer release of Notes, I have lowered the Premium Sponsorship amount. Any donation => than $88.50 (based on Notes 8.5) , can have their post on the Donor List, located at http://charity.planetlotus.org and http://planetlotus.org customized with the URL and text (up to 140 characters) of your choice.

So, if you're at all thankful for what Planet Lotus has done for your blogs readership, please consider this a way of giving back. If you've enjoyed reading what the site has to offer and how it offers it, consider this a way to give back.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and remember the economy is shrinking, but the number of lives affected by cancer is not.

UPDATE: Thank You to Kathy Brown and Roy Rumaner for staring off the 2009 campaign before it was announced!
