Greetings!
My name is Richard and for the past two years i have been raising money for the High Fives Foundation, specifically donating money to the C.R. Johnson Healing center. After doing work for them I can honestly tell you the work they do is amazing. Roy, the head of it all should be winning the nobel peace prize for what he does.
In about a month March 3rd to be exact, High Fives is doing a FAT-Ski-A-Thon at Mount Ellen (Sugerbush).

I am the captain of the East Coast team, and since this forum is for skiers, well I can bet you guys know why I am writing this.
I WANT YOU to be on my team, help my team, or gives us some support and root us on.
In the link there is all the information you need, but if not, shoot me a pm or post in the thread.
I know donations is a touchy subject, but there are many ways to give.
If interested in giving PM please, i can drive you through the process and get you guys some swag I have collected from the organization!
If you would like to join, post pm, or just join any team. (East coast to inflate my numbers ;) )
The event will pretty much be a bunch of people taking laps on a chair and every lap we have supporters who gives. (I.E 1 dollar for every lap from sponsor and we do 300 laps as a team is $300, however with the hope to gather many sponsors per skier).
Or, you can just give us a boost and donate without the lap scale.
Or, if money is no option just give us a bump for good luck.
Hope some NSer's can get out here and shred with us, lift tickets i think might be lowered for participants but don't hold me to it at the moment.
Hope to hear or see some of you guys out there!
