O/T:Need your help, Please take a minute to read
 
Hey everyone, after talking with Leon I am very happy to be able to help spread the word. So, let me tell you a bit about why i am asking for your help.

Two years ago during the Boston Marathon a horrible tragedy took place. Multiple bombs were set off causing chaos on Boylston Street at the marathon finish line. Many lives were changed that day and a few lives lost much too soon. One of which was a boy, Martin Richards who was 8 years old when his life was taken.

My real close friend Ryan is running the 2015 Boston Marathon for the Martin Richards Foundation (TeamMR8). We both have been trying every avenue we can to raise $7500. We have hit the $5000 mark and with just a little over a month to go I'm reaching out to you all here to see if you would like to donate to a great cause. Below i have attached a link to where you can donate. Anything helps so even a $1 could make the difference. Also, in the link you can read about the foundation and about my friends journey of training for the Boston Marathon. Also, you can donate using the link below. If you do decide to send a check please make it out to

Martin W. Richards Charitable Foundation and in the memo put Ryan Glynn

I also am auctioning off a few items where 100% of the proceeds are going to be donated. Below are a few photos of the items i plan to auction away in the auction thread on Net54. I hope you all can find it in your heart to help donate some money but if not i want to just thank you for the time you took to read about this foundation and my friend Ryan's journey.

THANKS,
From both Ryan and I

Hey Jesse
I get a few requests like these and generally have to say no, not because they aren't great causes, but because we can't help everyone in the world from our board. That being said this one is kind of special. I sent a small donation. Good luck in meeting your goal and thanks for doing it!!
