**Disclaimer: I am not trying to solicate money (even tho I want and need to) but I was just wondering how I should go about this to raise some money for the event. I posted this on my fraternity's forum asking them to help with donations. Here is the info on it:
I want to do the Disney World Marathon for Ataxia-Telangiectasia or AT - Imagine a disease that combines the worst symptoms of muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies, and cancer. Children with A-T are usually confined to wheelchairs by age 10 and often do not survive their teens. Because A-T is a multi-system disease, scientists believe that A-T research will help more prevalent diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS, and cancer.
If I sign up for the race I will need to raise at least $600 for it, I would like to raise more cause the race is $150 for the marathon and $330 of the "Goofy Challenge" or both half and full marathon. Plus the cost of travel, lodging, and food.
So what I was wondering from you guys is, would anyone be willing to donate to this? I don't want to sign up unless I know that I will be able to raise enough.
