Love the Milan stamp on the B & V.

I love those stamps too - so cool!

Just got my computer set up and I don't see a note from Jim. Last thing I have was from Monday. I just bumped our thread and will update as soon as I have some information.

Bella storia! 
I will send you pictures beforehand when I prepare my sales thread, and — if the total is not reached and still needed — we can arrange a partial donation as well

[skypinkblu]

OK, sorry for the delay, but this is really good news...we are so close to $30k, the forum has been simply AMAZING...I think that there is a commercial or something with that song;) 

Anyway...Here is Jim's update...early today...

" I skipped the total last night ... epic nausea, as my medicine was out due to the holiday. I'm good now.

As of 9:00a.m., 01/03/24, we are tentatively at 29,898.86.

GOD BLESS ...

My apologies, I try to answer PMs the same day, but right now I am WAY behind on checking my mail, but I should be able to catch up tomorrow. There are a few donations that were taken and not paid for. It's possible, we just missed the PM, so I will update the spreadsheet and send reminders out Saturday or before.

Hi everyone!  Before I get to the books I'm donating, I want to post up the fundraiser effort that I had just kicked off centered around my participation in the upcoming Dopey Challenge at Disney World from January 4-7.  What this entails is completing each of the races that they host on successive days -- 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon, 48.6 total miles.  This was the basis for my charity thread this year, but after hearing the terrible news about jimjum, I'm happy to re-direct my efforts here.  

As I posted in my own thread, for anyone wishing to take part, please have fun with your pledges -- per mile, per race, per time goal, whatever!  The time goals I've set for myself in each race are as follows:
5k – 37:30
10k – 1:15:00
Half – 2:30:00
Full – 5:00:00

Total allotted moving time that I've given myself is 9 hours, 22 minutes, and 30 seconds.  Land speed records will not be broken.  Here is my own pledge, all proceeds to Jimbo, a friend of Jesus .

- $2 per mile, which I’ll round up to a total of $100 when all miles are completed.
- $50 per time goal met
- $100 if I come in under my total allotted moving time

So, if all criteria are met, that’ll be $400 total from me.  I'm very confident in the first three races, but admittedly 5 hours might be optimistic for the marathon.  We shall see though!

I'll update this post continually with any new pledges as they roll in:  In the interest of tidiness, I'd prefer you pm me any pledges, and I'll tag you and quote the pertinent details.  Donation period will stay open throughout the races as I see no need to put a deadline on it.  And I'll post results and other fun quips on a daily basis!  All updates will be posted in my event journal:

@Beige - "I pledge $1 per mile completed, sent direct to JimJum."

Hi everyone!  First off, just want to say how incredible this effort has been, we're going to cruise past that $30k mark easy!

Fly out day is early Tuesday morning, so I wanted to make one more plug for the running challenge before we hit the road (quoted the original post from page 4).  No amount is too small.  Also, since I may have trouble staying on top of my PMs, anyone else wishing to contribute can also just post in the thread and tag me, and I'll update the page 4 post as time permits.  So as not to clutter this thread, I'll post my time and photo updates to my event journal, which can be found here:

I'll also post this link to the page 4 post shortly.

I'm feeling fantastic and really looking forward to the whole endeavor, other than the VERY early morning wake-ups to get to the starting corrals.  My prettier half could use a few wishes for quickly improved health though as she came down with some kind of bug yesterday.  She's a bad az though, I know she'll do just fine.

Keep improving every day @jimjum12!

Just in case anyone thought I was faking…all checked in and ready to kick off tomorrow morning!

Best of luck! My quads are screaming at me just imagining the mileage you will be putting in.  At least it will be a flat course.

We're sooooo close to $30k so  to put us over. Jim is one of the best!

@miraclemet Thank you, CHarlie and Dave @davet75 and everyone else!! That's quite a milestone!

We still have the books at Mycomicshop, Matt's race (good luck) and a few more things going on, so if it's OK with everyone else, I will keep going here for a bit.

Afterall, we have all seen things get more expensive... so it would be good for Jim to not have to worry so much while he recuperates
