I would like to offer-up this for Jim:

Bob Layton Iron Man Artist Select Series (HC, Signed/#'d, still sealed)
Let's try to get $100 $85 for it and I'll cover shipping anywhere in the USA

 

[skypinkblu]

Some days, you just need a box of tissues...good tissues for good mushiness...

This was my message from Jim, today.

"

You guys. 

We have broken 33K w/ a tentative total of $33,115.94"

But as the guy on whatever tv commercial says...WAIT there is more!

MyComicShop received the books they bought in the thread from Buscema's Avengers and they are adding them to the books they have recieved from a number of people, that will be sold on their site with the proceeds going to Jim.

So if we don't reach $35k, it's going to be damned close to it...

I'm not "closing" this thread, but I'm just going to bump it once this weekend with a final update from Jim (unless there is major activity) and I will update when we get the final figures from MyComicShop. If donors wish to leave their books on this thread, then they will be up for sale for the near future.

I'm not sure how I can express how wonderful I think you all are. I want to say something profound, but it's beyond me...so I will just say this to ALL of you...

[lizards2]

I'm sending kisses your way Sha!

 

[skypinkblu]

We know there is one book in the MCS auctions now...and if they let me know when the next ones will be sold, I will update here for that as well, so people can bid.

I can't give an exact figure, but a LOT of people have helped here.

There were  185 donations of books or other comic related items donated. My guesstimate is that  about 100 other people donated funds through PP or by check/MO

Then there were the buyers of the items donated. One day when someone has a lot of time, they can count everything up, but the participation here has been amazing.

This is really an incredible gesture. 

I think @jimjum12 is such an enduring figure around here,  because he never judges or gets involved with drama. He just talks comics and treats everyone with respect and kindness. 

It was really nice to see everyone rally around him.

Alright, Dopey Challenge results are in!  Let's see how it all shook out, using part of my page 4 post:

(I will post much more detail about the whole experience in my journal, hopefully sometime in the next few days.)

Original goal times
5k – 37:30  
10k – 1:15:00  
Half – 2:30:00  (Scratched on account of Disney shortening the course to 7.1 miles)  
Full – 5:00:00    (as I noted in my journal, I'll use my unofficial time to eliminate recreation stops.  Strava has my unofficial time at 5:35:04)

Total allotted moving time that I've given myself is 9 hours, 22 minutes, and 30 seconds 6 hours, 52 minutes, 30 seconds (half marathon removed).  

Here again is my original 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.  
     (even with the 1/2er cut short, still $100.  We calculated that we walked between 2-3 miles to and from the car per day.  Add park time on top of that, and we covered much more than 48.6 miles in 4 days)
- $50 per time goal met  
     ($100, 2 of 4 original goals met)
- $100 if I come in under my total allotted moving time
     ($50.  Though I didn't beat my allotted time, I'm still adding $50 more because of how well the marathon went - good mood, no injuries, no cramps, and I still set a race day pr for the half marathon)

Ultimately I didn't hit the $400 max, but that's $250 to @jimjum12 as soon as possible.  

@Beige - The modified official distance comes out to 42.6 miles, so take that into account however you'd like when settling up.

That distance is just awesome...and thanks for adding your fundraiser to Jim's, very kind of you! 

[Funnybooks]

there's no way we can allow ourselves to fall short of 35k...we need a final push to get us through the finish line
