Anyway, wish me luck, and don’t forget to post your donation to Guide Dogs for the Blind…we only need 30,000 people to donate $1.00 each. If you’d prefer to donate by the mile, $1.00 per mile would be $1,222.25, and 6 cents per mile would be $73.34. Of course, you can donate whatever feels comfortable for you, and if you don’t have one dollar to donate, let me know. I can spot you a dollar and we can arrange some kind of indentured servitude for you to work it off

Run Over To Ellen’s Day 5

Hi all,

Here we are…Day 3 of my virtual Run Over To Ellen’s. Added another 6 miles to my total, so 15 miles logged and only another  1,207.25 miles to go to get to the Warner Brothers studios in Burbank to see a taping of the Ellen tv show. I don’t know how far ahead you have to request Ellen Degeneres tickets, but we’re hoping to get four tickets to a taping at the end of the year after I’ve tallied up my last mile of the 1,222.25 miles I have to log to get from my home in Montana to the Burbank studios where the Ellen tv show is taped.

Run Over To Ellen’s Day 3

Hey there,

It’s Day 2, and I’ve added 6 miles to my first three yesterday. I have to average about 36 miles per week to make it to the Ellen tv show by the end of the year. Hopefully we can get four Ellen Degeneres tickets to see a taping of the Ellen tv show before she leaves for the end of the year break in December.  

We decided to fundraise for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Bill over at Guide Dogs for the Blind has been great, and we’ll be setting up a fundraising link so that it’s easy for everyone to donate at least $1.00.

See you over at www.RunnerInsight.com

How ’bout it?

Run Over To Ellen’s Day 2 – Fundraising for Guide Dogs for the Blind

We set our goal to raise $30,000 for Guide Dogs for the Blind. So that means we only need 3 people to donate $10,000 each :0  or 3,000 people to donate $10 each or 30,000 people to donate $1 each.  Or of course, some variation of that…I figure pretty much everyone can donate $1 with out too much hardship, and the more each person donates, the better!
