I have taken this from the 2-Fast website. I will be riding in the Seattle 100 this year and figured it is never too early to try and start raising money for tis great cause. I am sure a lot of people from this forum will be participating in this event, but anyone that isnt, that would like to "sponsor" me for this event, it would be greatly appreciate. Please read below and you will find my contact info. Thanks for your time!

"On Saturday, July 28th, myself and one hundred other motorcycle enthusiasts will attempt to circle Pacific Raceway’s roadcourse (formerly Seattle International Raceway) as many times as we can with the sole purpose of raising money towards kidney disease research. Each and every rider in the Seattle 100 is raising money through friends and family, with proceeds of the event going directly to The NephCure Foundation (www.nephcure.org) - the only organization in the world dedicated specifically to the cure of glomerular kidney disease. Riders raise funds through per lap pledges or fixed contributions, and contributions are tax-deductible. Last year’s event was attended by several of the world’s fastest motorcycle racers, was seen on Speed TV, and the event’s 75 riders raised over $110,000. This year, one hundred riders are expected to participate, and the fundraising goal for this year’s 2007 Seattle 100 is to exceed $120,000.

I am writing you to see if you would have an interest in sponsoring me on July 28th. If you would like to support my “motorcycle marathon” with a per lap pledge or fixed donation, I’d sure appreciate it. You can reach me by phone at (253) 377-1296, or you can email me at R1mania@aol.com. If you have would like any other information, please contact me or you can find more information on this event at www.2-fast.org. Thanks for your consideration, and know that it is greatly appreciated."

I've got a tip for you. This is a new thing this year. Brian Orton has developed a website system to help S100 riders garner donations. I have one set up for my kids, who gathered $600 at their 10th birthday party, and Mario Alverez Jr has one too.

IMO, way better than checks or Paypal.

BTW, when you hit the website, check out the triplets (my kids) site. They are listed as "Gregarek Racing" in the team section. Pretty good total (the tab's still running) for some kids who'll get 2 LAPS in the Kiddie Exhibition.:D
