Now on to Richmond....
The typical recommended recovery between one marathon and another is 6 weeks but Roger is going to run ANOTHER marathon in Richmond on November 13th. That's just a month away. His goal for the Double Marathon Challenge is to raise $10,000. Our current fundraising update is that we have collected about $6400. The University of Miami fans are still leading the charge in pledge donations; however, Roger has raised a new challenge. If Virginia Tech fans manage to raise more money than UM fans before November 13th, Roger will still run the Richmond Marathon in Hokie gear. If we reach our $10,000 goal, regardless of pledges, Roger will run in the PINK running skirt! Yes, folks. You heard it right here. If you want to see Roger run in a skirt, we have about a month to gain $3600 more in donations. You can send donations directly to PO Box 854, Ashland, VA 23005 or donate directly on our website via PayPal.
Speaking of PayPal, I am excited to report that we are now able to accept all forms of payment for orders of T-shirts and window clings. Just go to our CJSTUF store and place your order directly. What are you waiting for? Christmas and Hanukkah are right around the corner!
October is quickly waning but mark your calendars for some very important November events:
Local jewelry artist Sarah Blankenship of Crystal Paintbrush has created a limited edition set of jewelry exclusively for CJSTUF. We will be auctioning these pieces on eBay from November 1-November 15th. 100% of the proceeds will go to CJSTUF. There will be necklaces, earrings, pins, and bracelets. There will be about 20 pieces in total. All pieces will be one of a kind, hand crafted with semi-precious beads and stones, freshwater pearls, and swarovski crystal butterflies. Here's a preview:
Word has it that Richmond Magazine will be running a feature on Sarah's jewelry and the charity auction so we are excited for the publicity!
I think Roger will share his own post-marathon update so I will end it here. Thanks for the continued support. I can't believe 2010 is almost coming to a close. This has been a great inaugural year for CJSTUF.
