HeyDingus for Relay for St. Jude for Ending Childhood Cancer for 2024
Hey y’all! Our little corner of the internet, led by the fine folks at the Relay podcast network, is back at it again, raising funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. There is so much to be said for the amazing work that St. Jude does to treat kids with cancer — at no cost to their families! — but suffice to say that their mission is for no child to die from cancer. No child. None. That’s a huge goal, and we can get there together.
Stephen Hackett has a very good blog post that kicked off this year’s campaign, and it explains why we rally behind Relay and St. Jude every year. Basically, St. Jude saved his kid’s life and countless more all over the world.
Yet again this year, I’m throwing my hat in the ring, trying to raise a few extra dollars. Our family will be making our own donation here, but I’d be touched and grateful if you were able to toss a dollar or two into the bucket. Literally, every single dollar helps.
This time, I’m doing a good old-fashioned pledge drive to earn your support for St. Jude. Here’s the deal: You get blog posts, and the kids get money. I invite/encourage/challenge you to pledge $5 for every blog post that I fill your feed with this month. Even though I just came off Blaugust, writing 31 posts in 31 days, I’ll continue to blog my heart out in September — for the kids (and for you).
Or if you like getting stuff for your donation, for $15+, I’ll build you a custom shortcut. You can also get some awesome screensavers and wallpapers ($60) or stickers + a digital bundle ($100) from the team at Relay. And if you want to absolve yourself of consumerism guilt during New iPhone Season, a donation using The Marco Offset (as explained on ATP) can ease your soul from spending a boatload of money on a phone that you probably don’t really need.
If you want to make a pledge based on the number of blog posts I deliver this month, first, THANK YOU — you fill my heart, and second, send me an email and I’ll add your name to the list below. 😁
Let’s cure childhood cancer together.
