Congress has less than six days to find a compromise that saves the nation’s credit rating, but you don’t have to worry about raising the national debt ceiling. That’s because this marathon fundraising drive is immune to national deficit fights, and it has a triple-A credit rating from Coaches Mike and Sandy, who yelled at me at various points during a 5-mile time trial Tuesday evening (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/102025918).  

The underlying financial methodology for this marathon is absolutely sound. The funds you raise are likely to maintain a constant dollar amount because pledges are largely non-refundable. That makes this marathon fundraising effort more secure than shares of News Corp common stock.

So what are you waiting for? The Leukemia & Lymphoma is a wonderful organization and it needs your support. Pledge today, and forward this link to a friend.

Thank you once again for your support,

Eric Baum
