Exclamation Announcing the First Annual Short-Media "Walk for a Cure"



[center]This was a huge success!
Donations are by paypal to:



In the title line please put "Walk for a Cure" and in the notes box please put who you sponsored as well as your user name.

We have just added one new event to the SM LAN 2006. Short-Media is going to have its first ever Walk to promote Folding@Home, the "Short-Media Walk for a cure". More on Folding@Home can be found here as well as right here. This will be just like the marathons that are run for different causes but it will just be a simple three mile walk as we want it to be open to all of the SM LAN attendees. The people who are not walking or not attending the LAN can do their part by "Sponsoring" a walker. Walkers can have as many people sponsor them as they wish. The minimum sponsor "pledge" we are asking for is $1.00 per mile and up to as much as you wish. Since it is only 3 miles long the minimum would only be $3.00 per sponsor. But please do't let this stop anyone from pledging at higher levels. the proceeds from this event will go solely to help with costs of providing the SMX rigs we often find hosts from the team 93 membership. To make things more interesting we will be offering a free Join Folding Team 93 T-shirt to the top contributor (the top single sponsor) and another to be offered in a drawing where all who donate will be entered.

For now we will let the SM LAN attedees who will walk post their names here and let those who wish to sponsor them post so in here. We will keep all the names and pledges updated in this first post of the thread. Good luck to all and please remeber that this is for your team, Team 93!

Walkers will get their shirts at the LAN for a discount so we can look good. We are also trying to get some kind of media coverage on this. So make your team proud!

We only have 28 dys left as of today to get this going!!!

There are many LAN goers who are not on the walking roster and we need to see you now. I will be bringing lots of slimy surprises for those who try to skate out of this. We also need more sponsors. There are several walkers who still need sponsors. When it comes time for new rigs to roll out for the SMX project and all you see for offering are lame old hunks remember why! This is YOUR TEAM so take PRIDE IN IT and PARTICIPATE! Just think, if tere is a big enough turnout of this and the T-shirts there is the real possibility of turning out some really supper machines from up to date parts. The walk is only about an hour, most spend more time walking through the grocery store than that. The minimum sponsor amount is $1.00 per mile or $3.00. This is an incredibly cheap way to help your team NOW!!!

He's trying to weasel out of our little side bet as to which one of us will finish the three miles first.

It's not going to work, Q'sie - you shall be

No.

You'll have to walk backwards to avoid having to watch me pulling away in the distance - far out in front of you.

You'll both have to walk backwards, and bring some clothespins, to avoid the extra added jet boost that I will be using.

That's if HE carries you... it's a donation under his name... you cannot claim it.

When I leave your sorry butt far behind (probably at about the halfway point) and ultimately beat you to the finish line, you will be peeling a Hamilton off of that big fat wad of cash you carry around and donating it to the SMx Project in MY name.

Now, leave - before I taunt you again!

Sledge,

same conditions as for the Prof, you've got to carry all your folding rigs.
£5 to complete the course.

Good luck mate.

If you pay to ship them UP to Michigan I would be happy to carry them on a Red Wagon with a Generator that would allow them to fold during the walk

We need your support!

We need more walkers from the LAN attendees!

We need more sponsors!

You don't want Short-Media to start PBS type fund drives and interupt your regularly scheduled postings and reading to do it, do you? Time for this is running out, fast!

Also, don't forget to order your folding T-shirts!
