"They are able because they think they are able." Virgil
OK, now back to the point of this blog:
- What is The 31 Initiative? I plan on running 31 races for 31 straight weeks.
- What kind of races are you talking about? A 5K which is 3.1 miles (get it?).
- Why do this? I'm trying to raise money for a noble cause, the fight against testicular cancer.
- Why testicular cancer? A friend of mine was afflicted by this disease. Rather than sit back, he's paying it forward by starting a website, TCARE.org and an endowment.
- How can I donate money? This link gives you all the details.
- How much should I give? I'd love for each person to give at least $31 ($1/race) but no one would complain if you gave more. Honestly, every dollar helps so ANY donation is appreciated.
- What is your charitable goal? $3,100 would be appropriate but I'm aiming higher => $5,000.
- When does this Initiative start? Due to Ohio's frosty January and February, I'll start running in March (I want to make sure there is a race available). I'll let everyone know the exact date when it gets closer.
- What do you plan to blog about? The race I participated in, my time (which will hopefully improve over this 31-race stretch), and any other tidbits I find interesting.
- How often will you post information? At least weekly.
- What if you can't find a race in Ohio? Then I'll go out of state.
- What makes you think you can do this tough guy? Please see Virgil quote at the beginning.
- Anything else you want to add? Yes, please spread the word via email, Facebook, Twitter, and any other form of social media out there.
- Are you finished? We've only just begun.
