DG's Journal: Help Me End MS Part 2 Slashdot vs The World

As previously posted I am doing my little bit to try and help rid the world of the scourge of MS by participating (again) in the MS Bike Tour.

In an attempt to raise funds, I posted a little entry to the Donation Page to the following websites:

• Facebook (in a status update)
• MyFamily.com
• Slashdot, and
• An exclusive, members-only car racing website that functions like Fight Club.

The results within the first week are striking. Facebook and MyFamily - nil. Fight Club, 1 pers for $10. And Slashdot - 2 pers for an amazing $125.

Clearly - although the sample set is admittedly small - Slashdotters lead the way when it comes to supporting worthy causes.

I am now attempting to challenge the other members of Fight Club to donate more by appealing to their manhood (or lack thereof) by daring them to beat Slashdot's contributions.

You, gentle reader (previous donors excepted) can help make this more difficult by raising the bar by donating more money - and in the end, it is the MS society who wins.

Help me end MS!
