Soaring for charity - another way to give us some publicity

[5Z]

A group of employees at my company are participating in an evening
walk to raise funds and awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. Each of us has set up a website through the group to collect
donations, so I thought it would be a great way to also promote
soaring. I'm asking folks to make a donation based on the OLC
kilometers I fly this coming Saturday.

The website is http://www.active.com/donate/ltnDenver/2163_tserkowskiLTN

This seems like it could be a great way for others in our sport to
raise awareness of soaring in their local community while helping
raise funds for their favorite charity.

Well, I flew 519 km last Saturday. So now it's time to donate! Even
$5.19 multiplied by just a fraction of RASers will do a lot of good.
So far, I haven't seen too many familiar names from RAS on the
contributors list :)

Thanks for helping!

Tom,
Thanks for doing this. I had leukemia (AML) in 2005. Thanks to a
stem cell transplant from my sister I'm fine today.
