Hey you ferret-lovers, ferret-lovers, ferret-lovers!  (Is there an echo
in here?)
 
It's been a long while since I have last posted on this list.  On October
27th, I will be running 26.2 miles in the Dublin marathon.  It is part
of the AIDS marathon training program to beneift the AIDS Foundation of
Chicago.  I have never ran more than a mile in my life before I started
this training and this weekend I will be running 20 miles!
 
I am owned by 4 fuzzbutts: Soda-Pop, Bullwinkle, Maximus and Mudflap!
They gave me this idea!
 
Instead of looking for companies and people to sponser me on this run, I
would love it if I was sent to Dublin to run the marathon sponsered by
*ferrets*.  Yes, that's right, your ferret will have the opportunity to
sponser me and participate in the fight against AIDS.
 
For every ferret who donates $25 or more, his/her name will be listed on
my shirt along with the state/country where he/she lives.  It would be
awesome to have a shirt full of names of ferrets from all over the USA
and world.  And I will send via email the pictures of me wearing the
shirt and crossing the finish line.
 
Please go to this site if your ferret would like to make a contribution
(online or you can print out the donor form and send it by mail).  Make
sure the donation is for John Hill and that the runner number is CH-0793.
Of course, it is tax-deductible.

(Don't worry about the deadline date on the letter, it is actually August
25th not July)
 
I also ask that you send me an email telling me that your ferret had
made an contribution, and give me the name of the ferret sponsering me
(and your last name) and the state/country where you live.
