Talking My JDF Fundraising Trip Across America

MY DRIVE ACROSS THE USA -- PENNIES FOR JDRF

Starting on April 18 and ending on May 6, 2002 I will be driving across the country, roundtrip 5,800 miles, to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I will be driving my Porsche 911, decorated in US Flag decals and corporate sponsor logos, solo across the country from Charlottesville, Virginia to Los Angeles, California, and back.

I am asking people to sponsor the trip and donate to JDRF (www.jdf.org) by donating a penny per mile (or $58). Other amounts of donation are possible too -- a penny per mile is just a suggested donation. 100% of the donated amount will be given to JDRF, and a receipt will be provided if requested.

You can donate in two ways:

1) You can pay with credit cards or checking accounts using PAYPAL.COM. If you're new to PayPal, use PenniesForJDF@aol.com and you'll get an extra $5, and so will JDRF! Just use this link: <a href="https://www.paypal.com/auction/pal=penniesforjdf@aol.com" target="_blank">https://www.paypal.com/auction/pal=penniesforjdf@aol.com</a>

If you already have PayPal, just send your donation to PenniesForJDF@aol.com at <a href="http://www.paypal.com!" target="_blank">http://www.paypal.com!</a>

2) You can send a check, made out to "Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation," to:
Scott Mandell
PO Box 7542
Charlottesville, VA 22906

I will be setting up a website for this trip shortly so you can track the trip every step of the way -- each night I will post photos on the web of the journey so you can come along!

Here are other "suggested donation" amounts:

1 penny per mile = $58
2 pennies per mile = $116
3 pennies per mile = $174
4 pennies per mile = $232
5 pennies per mile = $290
1 penny per 2 miles = $29
1 penny per 10 miles = $5.80

Please email me with any questions, and THANKS for supporting JDRF!

Any corporate sponsors who want to put a decal with their logo or website on my car, please email me.
