Well, all must things must come to an end. It has been an stachtastic year of Movember. I have always been interested in corporate fundraising and development so I get pretty giddy every time I get to raise money for a good cause. This year, I tried something a little different. I decided to put my running talents to good use. I asked the socialmediasphere if I ran, would your donate a dime a mile for the face of men’s health, to help raise money and awareness for testicular and prostate cancer research. It all started with my first yes by my friend Robyn, and the yes’s just kept coming. Before I knew it, I had 25 Stachetastic Run Sponsors who were willing to donate! Thank you all so much for your willingness to fight for this cause while cheering me on! You have all been super supportive no matter what over the years and it is what keeps me going. You all deserve gold stars.
Okay, so now comes the time to the task at hand: donation time.
This is a screen shot from my Nikeplus app with the official total. As you can see, I ran a total of 50 miles in the month of November. I was actually pretty thrilled with this month running wise. I ran a couple of 10 milers (including my Thursday run that was a doozie that I haven’t talked about yet. That post is coming soon…) and in some pretty crazy conditions. Somewhere in there, I destroyed my toe that I thought was going to ruin my philanthorunning. Thankfully, it wasn’t broken and I was able to keep going!
So, what does this mean to us, FFK?
Well, according to my calculations, 50 miles multiplied by 10 cents comes out to… a $5 donation from each Stachetastic Run Sponsor!
So, I would ask that you donate at least $5 to Movember. When I say “at least” I’m not suggesting that you have to donate more, but feel free to do so if you want!
HERE’S HOW YOU DONATE!!!!
(Don’t worry, I’ll keep it simple.)
STEP 1
Go to http://mobro.co/nathanalbert (click on it! It will open in a new tab!)
STEP 2
Click on “Donate to me” below my signature FFK photo
STEP 3
Type in at least $5 to the donation box. (Again, no pressure.)
STEP 4
Scroll down that page and fill out the appropriate billing information. Then, click “Donate.”
Step 5:
Click “Donate Now” in the pop up screen.
STEP 6
AND THAT’S IT!
YOU HAVE JUST DONATED TO SAVE THE FACE OF MEN’S HEALTH!
As you can see, you can download a receipt as well for tax purposes.
So that’s it! Simple enough right? I just want to thank you all again for your donation and support. You have no clue how much this means to me! If you have any problems with the website, just message me and I’ll help you out! I think the last day to donate is Dec. 6th (basically by next week). Thanks again for being stachetastic.
