MS Monster Stomp 5K Donation Options
Posted by PintofStout on October 1st, 2009
The fund-raising options have been boiled down. There are no official forms for the MS Monster Stomp. My next option was to set up a PayPal account and accept the donations to deliver to the organizers of the race. This cost money and has a few other hoops I didn’t want to jump through. So instead of insisting on a middleman (this isn’t for my ego or glory, so no need for me to be in the middle of this transaction), I will just direct those who would wish to donate something directly to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s website.

To encourage donations, I think it would be helpful for people to let us know on this page or my blog if a donation was made. No need to list how much – and comments can be made anonymously at www.pintofstout.me. It isn’t a big deal if nothing is said at all, but I thought it would help encourage others to donate if they saw that other donations were made. Dang, I feel like NPR here – and now Ira Glass would like to guilt you into becoming a member.
Thanks for the support.

I made a small donation, so no backing out now. I expect to see you cross that finish line.
Good luck.

Thanks, Brian. I’m certainly on the hook now, I guess!

After a week off for fear of dreadful shin pain, your donation reminded me of the commitment I made and I got out this morning and actually increased my distance again. Thanks again for the donation and motivation, Brian.
