Jeff Geerling - Virtual Ostomy 5k - Worldwide
Welcome to my fundraising page! In 2018, my colon went thermonuclear. Crohn's Disease had taken its toll, and rather than spend the majority of my life tired and in the bathroom for hours every day, I had a proctocolectomy. In the years since, the UOAA has been a godsend, helping me learn how to life a full and even better life with an ostomy. And I want to pay it forward. Donating to the UOAA directly helps other people who were in my situation, or people who didn't even choose when to have their surgery (it is often done in emergencies or as a cure for colon cancer). Please donate today, to help the UOAA in its mission to help others. On October 5, 2024, I will participate in the Virtual Run for Resilience Ostomy 5k. Donated funds will support United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that makes a difference in the lives of the 725,000 to 1 million Americans who have had ostomy or continent diversion surgery. These surgeries are lifesaving and have allowed many people to return to living a healthy life. I am writing to share my story, and to ask you to support me as I train to participate in this 5k race. To find out more about the Run for Resilience Ostomy 5k please visit www.ostomy.org/5k, and to learn more about UOAA please visit www.ostomy.org. I have set my fundraising goal at $500. You can help me achieve this goal and help me pay tribute to those who need our help. Please support my fundraising campaign by clicking the donate link to sponsor my efforts in meeting my fundraising goal, or click Register to join me! Sincerely,Jeff Geerling

So, maybe a funny story today. I put in a bid on your book today. Link below to get more visibility. I asked the wife about a piece of art I also saw. It doesn't fit our "motif". She's like, "why were you looking at that?". I tried to explain that the book is signed by two guys and the kinda funny reason why it was being made available. It went over her head. "So who did you say wrote the book?" I answer "Michael Lucas". A few seconds go by and she replies "so, the guy that did Star Wars?" "No honey, ... close ... but Michael, not George."

(this is a regular email I send with slight variability on timing, this time leveling things up to include proper format challenge and some friendly sib rivalry)

it is not just a book--there is an online utility that can help you identify mystery connectors!
Uh oh, learned how to post from the command line. This is wonderful.
