I have been invited by the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) to play in the World Championships this year. I am currently registered but now I am worried about not having enough money to make it there. The tournament is in North Carolina and I am from Michigan. This is the first year that I have been invited and would be devastated if a lack of funds prevented me from playing.

My husband has been out of a job for over a year now and we've been struggling to pay mortgage and electric enough as is. I work full time but it's not easy to live off one income. Until he finds a job, for which he is constantly searching, I don't have any extra money in my budget for extras like tournaments but this is such a great opportunity for me.

I need all the help I can get and every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated! I am going to be fundraising locally to help cover the cost of hotel accommodations.

Help support women in disc golf!

The last two years have been rather unfortunate. I was going to school, had a good job and a relationship of 5 years. Then my father died, and I had to move my mother with dementia into my home. This caused strain on my relationship and it ended. Then I was laid off. I didnt want to aquire more debt, so I stopped school. My mother also passed away several months ago. I am a strong person, and I dont give up. I have a new job (that pays 5 dollars less an hour) and I have faith things will turn around. But right now im 6 months behind on my student loans payments that I have to pay back since im not currently enrolled. I have maxed out my credit card. and I am near termination of my utilities. I also need several hundred dollars of work done to my car. I just want help to catch up on debt. I know I can manage with a tight budget if i can just knock out what ive fallen behind on. I work at a hospital helping people every day, and im an active member of the community including fundraising for AIDS and Animal shelters. Now I need someone to please help me.. Thank you

Vinnie is nearly 5 years old. He has fragile X syndrome a genetic disorder that presents like autism but is far far worse with retardation. He is trapped in his own body unable to communicate with us and gets so frustrated he bites his hands, they are scarred and bleed alot.

My sister and I (who have the fragile x gene and are affected in ways other than mentally) desperately want and need to go to the Fragile X International conference in Miami in July this year. But we live in New Zealand and it is going to cost about 16 grand to get there. They are doing workshops on the latest techniques to get through to kids like Vinnie.

Our mother has dementia and this will be the last time my sister will be able to leave her as she deteriorates, I have custody of my disabled sister and this year have someone who will look after her while I am gone... We so need to understand this horrible disorder that has so changed our lives.

We will be among only a handful of people from our country going and we will be teaching other families who are dealing with Fragile X the methods we learn when we return.

Please help us, we are fundraising as much as we can and selling off everything that we can but it is not enough as all our money goes to helping Vinnie and mum and my sister.

For kayaker Steven Banks, it is going to be more about physical as well as mental endurance rather than simply covering a set distance around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano.

Banks, owner of Dreamlander Tours, on April 20 will set out on a 24-mile round trip he estimates will take about 24 hours, including a night stop on the water in the vicinity of Cape Romano when he will be on his own without a back-up team.

He is attempting the feat to raise money for three of his pet charities, the Impact community outreach ministry overseen by local pastor Ben Sprankle; a Malawi, Africa, charitable medical clinic called Partners in Hope; and a Cuaravac, Mexico, mother who is blind and has an epileptic son.

A poignant Marco Island connection is that another of her sons, Benito, worked on the island, raised a family, but died in 2011 from meningitis following a mosquito bite.

Banks had befriended Benito.

“Before he passed, he asked to make sure his mother and brother were taken care of,” Banks said.

A trip to Mexico to meet them prompted Banks to do everything he can for them, and his goal is to have them come to the United States for treatment.

Banks has called his fundraising paddle Kayak Marco 24.

It will consist of the 24-hour paddle that may incur inclement weather and unpredictable winds, put him at risk during the Cape Romano solo stop, and put strain on his body because of being out on the water for such an extended time.

But he is not too worried about that aspect.

As a hands-on guide, he paddles up to five or six hours at least three times a week, so has plenty of residual paddling fitness.

Still, he said, the length of time he will spend out on the water represents an unpredictable challenge, so he is avoiding any kind of complacency.

Banks’ route is not a fixed affair either, other than he starts and finishes at the Snook Inn.

While winds are unpredictable from this far out, tides are not, so Banks is studying charts and conferring with some of his charter fishing captain friends to map out the best places to try to be at certain times.

The combination of headwinds as well as fighting an in- or outgoing tide could be formidable, he said.

If the going is really good, he added, he will probably put in extra miles.

The kayak Banks plans to paddle is not the sleek, 17-foot kind that could zip around Marco, Goodland and Cape Romano in a matter of a few hours.

He will be using an ordinary, fairly short and stable craft that doesn’t have much gliding ability, so every stroke will count.

While Banks’ sole motivation for the endurance paddle is for his three pet causes, a cherry on top may come in the form of recognition by the Guinness Book of Records.

The category would be “longest nonstop time period for a single person kayaking.”

The recognition would be subject to correct and exhaustive documentation, Banks said.

Want to help?
What: Kayak Marco 24

Hello, my name is Noah Bularz and I am a student from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. I am planning on going to Nicaragua in May with a volunteer group to help underprivileged individuals that reside there. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and gives me great pleasure to be able to go and help those in need. I need to raise $5000 dollars for this trip, which includes travel, paying those who house me in Nicaragua, medical supplies and also donations to leave in Nicaragua to help fund their medical program. I am doing fundraisers and asking for donations to help fund my trip. The money I make through fundraising and donations will be what allows me to go on the trip. Without your help, I will not be able to go. I appreciate any donation you are willing to give. Thank you so much, I really do appreciate it.

Fundraising is hard but if you could spare some money(literally anything) and donate via paypal to:dbzbrah123@hotmail.co.uk as all of the funds will go to burying my best friend who recently passed(he got run over by a 4x4).His family is pretty poor.

I wouldn't normally do this and this cost alot of my pride but i need to do EVERYTHING to help him- hes my best friend and he needs a good send off.Im only 18(and in school)so this way seems like a good way of raising funds.

Hi all :)

My names Becky, and for some months I have been raising money for my little sister who has the genetic disease neurofibromatosis. She has suffered with this for a few years, with other problems occurring because of this (scoliosis etc)
She gets bullied at school, because of the large growth on her leg, which she will need to have surgery on in the coming year.
I have raised some funds but this is nowhere near enough. I want to send her tithe USA to Harry potter world, so she can feel like the best person in the whole world. I want her to feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, because to me she is perfect.
I have created this fundraising page: www.gofundme.com/afhb0
I have had one donation which is great but I do need more.

I would be so grateful if you could do so :D
Thank you so so much

I am organizing an initiative for the 2012 ballot that would require mandatory labeling of GMO foods and the factory farmed animals that eat them. I am just beginning and am building the organization, paying for everything right now and want to include others. If anyone wants to be part of the team, please contact us. visit www.labelgmos.org to find out what we're up to.

We are ready to start fundraising to gather the money needed to get this to ballot- educational materials, travel, professional signature gathering. Although this is for CA we are inviting other states that do the initiative process to participate and the whole country to support us...as what we do will effect the whole country.

Be part of taking a stand to have the right to know what we put in our mouths. Visit the url listed above to learn about this issue. The future of our food depends on it!

Thanks.

Hello,

We are a non profit charity (Ovarian Cancer Patient Charity Project L.L.C.)donating to uninsured gynecological and breast cancer patients in need of financial assistance. All contributions go to the cause, and are tax deductible. We are in need of extra assistance to assist all the 19 women whom have requested financial assistance, and the others coming in every day. Can you help us, by donating or sponsoring a patient? We are not too specific, because any help will help us tremendously. If you can give us a hand in any way, the patients, their families, and our charity would be forever grateful! Please contact me as soon as possible, as this is something that cannot be put off. Some of the women whom have requested assistance, are homeless, some are terminal, or invasive as well as desperately in need of treatment to have a chance of beating this potentially deadly disease. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to do great things. We hope you decide to help us with our cause. Thanks a lot. And were looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
I am the president of a gem and Mineral Fair Association and we provide a community event each year that gives our children FREE entertainment and show rides which being in this isolated part of tasmania our kids do not get to see unless they travel many hours away to attend. We started out because the mining company that sponsored community events had shut down and left the town in a crisis situation. We thought we could something good for the locals by rasing money to give them some free entertainment and keep up the morale,this in turn helped the local businesses with people coming to our event from all over the world. It has become very popular but now the mining companies that had started to boom again for a couple of years have shut down so we cannot go to them for sponsorship to help raise money for our childrens rides etc.
We do as much fundraising as we popssibly can but you can only expect so much from a small community that has not got many employment options at this moment.
We are afraid that this event will not be able to go ahead without some kind of support. This will be our 6th year.
I am hoping that we can raise enough money to see this years event take place in November, and hopefully by this time next year the economy will have picked up and our mines working again so that they may be able to support the community that supports them.
If you can help, please send an email to...kimdunstan@activ8.net.au and we can arrange a meeans of accepting your payment.
Thanks
Kim
