    If anyone who missed out on the signed Backspacer is interested, I have an official '03 Tampa bootleg available that Mike signed for a previous donation I made of $100 to the CCFA.

    I'm asking $75 after you donate $25 directly to Mike's CCFA charity.

    PM me.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Awesome - I am also looking at running this half marathon and am waiting to see if there's a spot available for me on the CCFA/Team Challenge team. If so, I'll also be setting up a donation site, or seeing if I can just link to Mike's. If I set up my own, maybe I'll come up with a nice little prize... :)

    Yup, I got an e-mail that says "donation receipt"..or did you intend a confirmation that you'll get the vinyl?

    Something showing I donated. I am listed on the page as the 20th person down, but I did not recieve anything in my email.

    Also would be nice to see something saying yup you were in the first 50 record coming your way

    Also tried emailing twice but no response so far

    Weird, maybe it was your e-mail filter blocking it? I've received the receipt right after the payment went through.

    This is a charitable organization, not a business.....cut them some slack!

    It would be nice to get a note soon, but with 50 people to reach out to I'm not expecting anything soon.

    i don't think there is a way of knowing because the comments don't have dates on them.
    and that page was up and running before the signed backspacer offer as well.

    i hope i was lucky enough to get one, and if not then i know my $100 has gone towards a great cause.
  • Just count down the list and see where your name is. The names are listed in order of who donated first. If you are within the first 50 names then you'll receive a signed vinyl.

    Hello,

    First off, thank you so much for your generous donationto Mike McCready's Team Challenge Fundraising page. That money is not only helping fund vital research, but education and support services as well for families who are impacted by Crohn's and Colitis.

    Second, you were one of the lucky 'first 50' donors, so you should be receiving your Mike McCready autographed Backspacer vinyl in the mail via FedEx soon (if you haven't already). If you have an address outside the US, please allow extra time for processing and delivery.

    with gratitude,
    chris, mike and the rest of Team Challenge Northwest

    In the spirit of paying it forward, I'm shipping my vinyl off for a Movember donation (all money goes to the fundraising effort). Details posted in the Lost Dogs forum:

  • Hey real quick question and I'm not trying to sound like anything but as far as the "donate and recieve a signed backspacer vinyl" I think its a great thing to be able to donate for a cause and to an individual who has given me so much inspiration in my life through his journey, so I did. But how do you know that a signed copy is coming? I was confused after I made the donation when reading through everything-and if its not the case anymore that's fine but I guess I'm just asking for some clarity that's all. Thank you so much and best of luck mike-KJ
