Anybody able to donate money?

I've raised about $1800 to date, but I need $2100 more. With your help we'll save lives from leukemia and lymphoma and other blood related illnesses.

I'm training for the Walt Disney Triathlon to swim 1 mile, bike 26 miles, and run 6.2 miles which will take place on September 24, 2006.

Please help by donating any amount, even a dollar will help!!!

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!

I've never understood the whole charity-marathon thing. People donate money because it goes to charity and they feel good about helping someone, so where does riding a bicycle 26 miles gain relevance?

Has anyone ever said, "I will only donate this money to people with leukemia if someone rides a bicycle 26 miles!"?

I'm personally doing it for my own physical benefit and health, as well as in remembrance of my old swim coach who died from leukemia.
