Day 8

Hey everyone. Thanks for coming and checking out the site. There's a lot going on behind the scenes. Remember it's only Day 8 and a lot of my ideas will take some time to develop and get organized - And it takes time to get the word out. So if there's not a post every day - don't get worried.



Here's the financial analyst in me speaking again... If we (I say we because I know I'm never going to be able to raise this money without every one's help out there) are going to accomplish this goal, we either need to reach a few really rich and generous people, or millions of not so rich people. I have a feeling it's going to have to be the later. So here's the breakdown...


As you can see, I have broken it down from Bad to Awesome. I put the average donation at 5 bucks, but I really have no clue what the average donation is - that's just a guess on my part. Is it too optimistic? Is it too pessimistic? Only time will tell I guess, but I figured it was a good starting point. So what I'm trying to say is that even in the best case scenario above we still need to get the word out to over 4 million people! And if people happen to be not as generous as we would like... Well - we're talking over 20 mil folks. The key is your help. Especially at the beginning. We need to get the ball rolling. How can you help? Well number one is obvious - click on the donate button and donate today. Not tomorrow. Not when you get around to it - but today. Number two is to join me in this cause and tell everyone you know about what we're doing. Thanks for every one's help so far. It's getting late, and I've got to get some shut eye. Feel free to comment. Talk soon...

Day 5

I changed the "Click Here To Donate" link at the top right of the blog. I think it looks a little cooler now...

Now that friends and family have been sent the email, I'll be moving on to my next ideas to get some traffic coming to see what I'm up to. I was doing some more calculations again today, and I'm starting to realize this is going to be a lofty goal to achieve. I knew it would be hard, but my eyes have been opened a little bit. If I average $150 every 5 days (which has been the going average so far...), I would only have $10,950 in one year. That's a long way from $1,000,000. Does that scare me a little... yes. Does it discourage me... No. I have plenty more ideas up my sleeve. Remember, it's only day 5. I still have 360 days to get $999,850. Piece of cake!

Day 4 - $150

It's day four and the financial analyst in me needs to run some numbers. according to my calculations, I'm .015% of the way to my goal. Doesn't seem like too much, but I think it's a good start. I figured it would take a while to get the ball rolling. When we hit 1% we'll have a party!

Watch the video below. It will give you a better idea of where the money is going. And who benefits from what we're doing here. And once again... Please pass this on. If I'm ever going to reach this goal of one million for St. Jude, it will be because each of you spread the word. After you watch this movie you can't look me in the face and tell me there's no better reason to SPAM everyone's inbox you know, or no better topic to bring up around the water cooler at work.
