Dare us to do stuff, then donate to charity.

Notes

We are Jeff and Rachel. This is us (as seen through a window in Seattle)!

We’ve been dating for about five years, and we like eat and drink and perform comedy and go places and do things together. Sometimes, we even act like rock stars!

We do not like to exercise. We are getting tubby and unhealthy, and decided that we wanted to fix that.

A few weeks ago, we found out about Team in Training (TNT), a program that’s run by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). It’s a great organization, and we decided to sign up.

Here’s how it works: We’ve each agreed to raise a minimum of $5,400 USD for the LLS—a collective total of $10,800 USD. While we raise the cash, TNT is going to train us to run a marathon.

Oh—did we forget to mention that part? We, two very out-of-shape, insane-type people, have agreed to run the adidas Dublin marathon on October 25, 2010. That’s 26.2 miles. And we’re doing it for charity.

As the fear subsides, we’re realizing that we’re pretty psyched for this. We get to healthify ourselves while raising funds to support an outstanding organization. It’s a pretty sweet arrangement.

So, that’s where you come in. We’d love your help in getting us to our financial goals, and since we’re both performer-types, we thought we’d make your donations worth your while.

DARE US TO DO STUFF

Email us with dares.

You want us to run our training sessions in pirate outfits? Sure.

You want us to write a song specifically tailored for you and your hamster? Why not?

You want Jeff to explain at length why he’s uncomfortable with the URL of this blog? Definitely.

The sky’s the limit! Be creative! And be aware that the less naked, illegal or expensive your dare is, the more likely we are to do it with gusto.

Once you submit a dare, we’ll assign it a dollar value. Once the dare has been completed, we’ll provide pictorial/video proof. That’s when you give that amount to either of our donation sites.

Speaking of which, here are our donation sites:

Jeff’s site: http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/dublin10/jscherer

Rachel’s site: http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/dublin10/rkorowitz

Help us kick cancer’s ass and do good things for a great cause! Our first pre-season training session is this coming Tuesday, May 4, so submit your dare today!

Love you like a sister,

Jeff and Rachel
