Got a minute? Need your help....
How are you? What's shaking?
First, let me be honest - I am about to be a bit mercenary. This is a mass message - but if you bare with me you'll understand why. I know its tacky, bad communications form, annoying, lifeless, cold.... But, I promise it will at least be interesting. SWEAR!
I need your help. And guess what, you don't have to leave your chair/sofa/bed/hammock. All you have to do is click a few links. Very Millennial.
In FOUR DAYS - this coming Saturday – I’ll be riding in the MS City To Shore Bike Ride, from Philadelphia to Ocean City, New Jersey. That’s a delightful 80 miles. This is the 4th year I've rode, to both raise awareness and money for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I’m co-captain of our company team, #TeamChatterBlast and I have an aggressive fundraising goal. 7 GRAND.
I am determined to meet it. And I need everyone's help.
Today, there is no cure for MS, but we're fighting to change that. Before I have completely exhausted my fundraising efforts, I am asking you to make a small contribution. Just a few bucks! What they call a "micro-donation." $20 or $40 dollars. What you’d spend tonight on happy hour can help change a life. Simply, copy and paste the link below to visit my personal page to make your donation: owl.li/SqmJG
C'mon! You've dropped more dime then that on iTunes! Share some of the wealth.
Over the four years I’ve raised money for MS, I’ve been overwhelmed with the work they do, the dedication of their organization, and the hope they bring to their clients. I've met tons of people who have been positively changed by their efforts. I've seen their successes. I've witnessed some miracles. I've cried. I've laughed. i've gotten incredibly painful muscle cramps. All I am asking from you is for some cash. And possibly a back rub. Message directly about the back rub.
The National MS Society is the leading provider of programs for people with MS and their families. They invest more money into MS research than any national voluntary health organization in the world. This is why I'm asking for your support. Each one of us can help create a World Free of MS. Volunteer. Advocate. Educate. Donate. Participate. Join the Movement.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

P.S. If you want to see me sweat and grunt my way across the Garden State, please go to www.facebook.com/chatterblast this weekend to follow our progress. It should be funny! I am fatter then I have ever been, so expect some delightful red faced pics. We'll be posting – till our cellphones die.
