Of course, many of us have heard about the Relay For Life and how they raise money for the American Cancer Society. Also, most of us have been touched by cancer in some shape or another, whether it be our own self, or friends or family members. My fiance' recently had a lady who was in her care at one time pass away this weekend from cancer. Today is her funeral and everyone is heartbroken.

So, in my journey to help raise money for the Relay For Life here in Roane County, TN on April 27th, 2012, I have created a challenge. Here is my challenge:

I am currently obese. On 11/10/11, I was 270lbs.

For every pound that I can lose in between now and April 27th, 2012, I need brave and courageous people to donate $1.00. Yes, $1.00 per pound.

I also have another challenge. $1.00 for every 10 Miles that I walk/run in my effort to lose weight.

I wanted to do this to show everyone that I am committed to making a difference and that I am wanting to earn your donations. You can follow my blog at: http://www.weight4life.blogspot.com

Thank you and God bless,
Ian

    Good for you!! I wish I could sponsor you but you could loose 50-100 pounds by then and I don't have that kind of money!! Good luck with it all and I hope you raise loads and loads!!!

    Thanks Icemaiden! I totally understand about the 50-100 pounds. Notice I didn't use the word "pledge"... I'm just simply asking that if you would like to and can, please donate if you like to, no matter how small.

    Thank you again!
