I Am A Sore Loser And Not Above Bribery

I am NOT a very graceful loser. I hate losing.

This should be a post about Haiti Outreach and why I support them and their commitment to to community-managed water, sanitation, and hygiene development in Haiti.

It should be about their community well project.

At the very least, it should be about me jumping into a frozen Minnesota lake in the middle of January.

But it’s not. This post is about me WINNING. Which is a terribly selfish, self-centered way to use my blog, but guess what? It’s my blog, and I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what I want to use it for :)

I’m part of the Disco Dunkers team for Freeze Dunk ‘13. That means I am, indeed, jumping into a frozen Minnesota lake in the middle of January in the name of charity. And it means I want to raise more money than anyone else on the team.

That’s where you guys come in. There are two ways you can help support me:

  • Donate to my fundraising efforts. It’s totally a tax write-off and benefits a great cause. Plus, it’ll be worth it to see the video and photos of me freaking out when I hit that icy water.
  • Help spread the word about the fundraiser and my attempt to kick everyone else’s ass.

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about you guys. If I get to be selfish and want to win, you get something, too. As a thanks for helping share this with YOUR friends and family, I’m giving away $20 (PayPal) cash to anyone that helps out. I even made it really easy by setting up pre-written tweets you can send out in exchange for entries.
