Hey everyone,

I was one of 90 people selected to run in the Badwater Ultrmarathon this
July. The run winds it's way 135 miles from the lowest point in the
Continental United States to the base of Mount Whitney. It is going to be
quite the adventure to say the least.

Each year I dedicate my most grueling event to the Challenged Athletes'
Foundation; a not-for-profit that provides funding to assist physically
challenged athletes' with adaptive sports equipment and training. This year
I will be using the Badwater Ultramarathon as my fundraiser. Having raised
over $350,000 for the CAF since 2000, I'm hoping I can do great things this
year.

With the event covering 135 miles (or 712,800 feet), I will take roughly
237,000 steps. To raise money this year, I am seeing if people will
support a single "step" of my journey for a single dollar bill. I figure if
I can get 237,600 people to support me with a dollar, the CAF will be quite
happy. If you can spare more ($2.00, $5.00, $10.00?) that's wonderful, but
I'm only asking for $1.00.

Everyone who donates will get their name posted on my event website
(www.ponyexpressrun.com). If you can help out by donating a single dollar
(or change equivalent), please visit my website (www.ponyexpressrun.com) and
click on the "support a step" link. Or go to eBay and type in "steps
Badwater" and purchase them there. You can either mail a buck to me or send
it via paypal (details are on my site).

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the support!
Bobby
