 On Tuesday Sept 21 Mike Brooks (MTC Club Member) will be doing a fundraiser at the YMCA , 62 Turner ST, Auburn along with Auburn firefighter Mark Boulet. Mark will ride a stationary bike for 100 miles and I will walk/run on a treadmill for 12 hours. There will be a treadmill next to mine where people can walk/run for up to a half hour with me and all we ask is that you make at least a $5 donation. If you prefer you can ride whatever amount of time you want with Mark on a staionary bike.  The goal is to raise at least $500 that will be used help children who have family members with cancer. The name of the program is The Healing Tree. The Healing Tree is connected to the Dempsey Center which is located at CMMC and helps cancer patients and their families. The Auburn firefighters have pledged to match at least $500 that Mark and I raise so any donation you make will be doubled. This all part of the YMCA’s Dempsey Challenge Fundraiser week.
Â
    I hope you can make it over to the Y, having someone to talk to will help break up the 12 hours on a treadmill and the donation will help children in need. Also,the Auburn firefighters are planning on harassing me for the entire 12 hours so a little moral support is needed. Okay , its ok  if you want to join them in the harassment – as long as you make a donation!
