I don't have a paypal account and can't really open one from this computer (long story). Is there another way to donate?

i have no idea how paypal works...and my husband is paranoid about me doing credit card stuff on line. so, I'm writing a $200.00 check this instant and mailing it to onefourty.

including my donation--what are we up to now, cash wise?

Ok - update so far

KITTYCAT opened with a huge $200 donation - thank you so much

I am in for $100

14 other slowtwitch donations have brought the total raised so far to $542.50

Jim and several others are donating gear - which is also great

Paypal takes a 3% cut - I am going to make up that 3% so 100% of what is paid get's into this gentleman's hands!!!

I don't know how many registered slowtwitchers there are out there - but we are hoping more than 14 contribute - the donations thus far have all been very generous.

Please - help us out here - if we hit close to a thousand - we will make an announcement and stop the fundraiser - as that amount will cover his needs.

Again - great job everyone so far - we are almost there!!!!!!!

Jason - not sure - maybe someone else can help.

Anyone else wanting to make a donatiuon not using paypal - send a check to Andrew Joyce - I will deposit into a checking account and then move it directly into the paypal account - I can produce documentary evidence to support any such transaction

My address is contained in the thread

come on everyone!!! we are almost to the cut off limit!!

this is a chance to help someone directly--where there is no overhead of an organization, and no staff or politics. 100% of your money will go directly to this cause.

and the cause is just a sweet man, who is passionate about riding a bike while he still can. i wish you could hear his voice...it's so gentle and kind. i cannot imagine someone pushing him down on the ground...

he told me he had lost all hope last night and hit an all time low. he was prepared to try to get home. now with what we've done so far he is beside himself and feels nothing but hope and thankfullness.

please, for those of you who are thinking about contributing, but haven't yet, dig inside your hearts and give a little. your kindness will not go unrecognized.

Actually it would be nice to go over the limit since he had his cash stolen too.

Now that I have the image in my mind of him cruising in a "Peaceful Tribe" jersey, I need to do a bit more here, I think. And that I shall do.
