    Tekki's Marathon/Ultra run for St. Jude! -- LAST TWO DAYS!

    Hey guys!

    Last year I had the opportunity to run the Chicago Marathon. I went from couch to marathon last year, inspired by my wife's family of runners.

    This year I am doing the same, and more! I will be running the Chicago marathon again, and the Lake Side Ultra (30 mile+) shortly after.

    I decided this year that I will be running for a good cause, by raising money for St. Jude research hospital. These guys are great. They help kids and their family fight cancer and other life threatening diseases.

    So help me out!

    Whats in it for you?! Sonomaa and I have some give aways for XIV and non XIV fans alike. Throughout the month, every $10 donated will get you a ticket into the July drawing.

    1st prize: XIV Heavensward Standee or $50 Steam/Amazon
    2nd prize: Whatever is left from above!
    3rd: 60 Day Time card for XIV!
    (If you play something else, I can arrange to get you something equivalent for your own game)

    Pics of the standee:

    Better idea of how to use the standee. I've done this in the past with old ones, and it works well with this. Dont construct it, just take the main elements and mount them on your wall!

    http://www.bluegartr.com/bucket/gall...ewimage/266546

    How to enter:

    Simply use this link

    http://heroes.stjude.org/DLA

    Donate, and please either add a note related to this give away or PM me or Sono! Again, every $10 will get you a ticket.

    Last thing. Traction is king when it comes to helping me donate, so if you could share my link as well, that goes a long way!

    I am $520/$1500 goal, so less then a grand to go until October! I hope to be at least half way by July!

    I just donated and it seems their form doesn't accept canadian postal code as there are letters in it. So I just put a random US one and it worked. You are awesome Tekki keep it up!

    Part of my rigorous training is going to MK Drive and getting some Chicken and Waffles. The runner life is a rough life. Especially when you have the metabolism of a horse.

    I'm going to burn off this steak and beer tomorrow morning with a 12 miler

    Hey guys I wanted to bump with a couple of things!

    First, I raised my goal in 48 hrs! THANKS!!

    My new goal is $1000 by the end of the month.

    I will draw for prizes either, by the end of the month or if I hit $1000, whichever is first.

    Finally, I have a BGer who made a HUGE donation and but Sono and I don't know who they are. If you make donations, please PM me so I can enter you into the drawing!

    Drawing results!!

    First, thanks BG! You guys helped me raise $330!! Thats about half of what I raised so far! Thats also 10 times as much as I raised through reddit! Thanks again! Feel free to keep spamming my link please. I have to raise another $720 by October.

    Winners were drawn from random.org. $10 = 1 numbers, and we had 33 numbers to pick from.

    Zhok/Elen won #1! They choose the gift card.

    I don't have "BG" names for the other two btw, so I will put your initials here. Please contact me for your prize!

    #2: Standee. Initials: " R. M. "

    #3: Intials "S. D."

    Hey everyone I just wanted to thank BG again for so many donations. To date, I am $1120/$1500 and have a week to go!

    Out of all of the communities I reached out to, BG was at the top with the most past my real life freinds and family. You guys even beat out the reddit communities I got help from, including /r/pcmasterrace

    I have $380 to go! So any help with this would be great, including spreading the word.

    Thanks again everyone! This will be my last bump to avoid spamage!
