Thank you for coming to my donation page for the Snowdrop Foundation's 55HR Race. This will be the 3rd year I have competed in this event. I haven't ever asked for donations for the previous year's races and I am getting a late start to this year's race. But I have a plan to make up the time.

There are a couple of ways I am asking for donations. The first way is the easiest way. Just simply make a onetime lump sum donation on my page. Easy enough. The second way is by donating per mile I complete. I have seen other runners do the same thing and I like it. The longer I can stay on my feet, the more miles I can get, the more money I can raise for the foundation.

Donations are accepted until the end of February. This gave me an idea. Trail Racing Over Texas is putting on a 72HR race the last weekend of February. If I could get people to donate per mile based on mileage covered during the 55HR race and the 72HR race, that means even more money for the foundation. 

Now, assuming I am healthy enough for each race, I have goal mileage in mind. The last 2 years I have wanted to get 150 miles at the Snowdrop race. Year one I got injured and had to gut it out for 100 miles. Last year, I was close. I decided against going for it around midnight on New Year's Eve. I knew it would be close and I didn't want to end up 1 or 2 miles short. I finished at 134.6 miles. This year, no tent, no sleep, lots of Red Bull. I fully intend to reach and surpass my goal of 150 miles at that race. If I can get the 150 in 55 hrs, I am going to go after 200 at the 72 hr race. Quick math, that's 350 miles between the 2 races. If you donated $.25/mile, that would be $87.50. If I can get 12 people to donate that amount, I will meet my goal amount.

If you decide to donate per mile, contact me and let me know the amount. I make note of the amount, and after both races are complete, I will let you know the mileage completed and you can come back to my donation page and make your donation then.

Thanks in advance for helping me reach my goal and for help kids with cancer.
