This is the bet/fundraiser that Patrick mentioned at the board meeting. We are passing it along on our facebook and twitter sites as well to you. It is a pretty cool site and you can join in the fun without disclosing your true weight identity – and you can post updates and it tracks your progress.  JOIN in the fun but PLEASE PASS on the link OR SHARE on facebook when you see our post.

Hey friends who trek the trails and paths of Fairbanks:

I’m passing on an equinox marathon runner’s wager to you, which has nothing to do with the marathon directly, save for the party following. It is really a fund raiser in disguise. Here is the deal. You have between now and September 8th to lose some weight. How much? Well, whatever you decide, you just need to accomplish this by Sept 8. Why? because you don’t want to carry even one extra pound up those hills! What happens if you don’t meet your goal? You donate $100 to the Fairbanks Youth Advocates (support your local community :),

Here’s how, it is a simple process: Go here, sign up, and the deal is on. While I’d like you to carry a little less weight around those Fairbanks trails, the secret desire is that you fail to meet your weight loss goal and therefore pass on a little cash to a local start up, non-profit. So bet big. Heck, you don’t even need to be a runner.
