Aaron Blanchard hasn't added a story.
Please help me support the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence by making a donation to help me raise a thousand bucks for this worthwhile resource for the children of Lawrence at https://otecwe.com/lawrence/aaron-blanchard/. Giving these kids opportunities to grow and play in a safe environment makes families happier, kids smarter, and the community a richer and more interesting place for all of us. These folks are working hard to give these kids options that we didn't have when we were their age.
Plus, I'm getting something very cool out of this! I am a novice
rock and aid climber and amateur arborist and I am looking forward to
a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rappel down one of the tallest
buildings in town!
Please sponsor me at https://otecwe.com/lawrence/aaron-blanchard/
- If you sponsor me for $30 or more, I will promise you a video of me coming down the building, whether I'm in control or not, head first or right side up, screaming like a child or calmly jaunting down the side of a 7 story building. So my video will either inspire you to tell me how cool I looked or provide you first dibs on what is sure to become a Darwin- awards-caliber video that you can start your own meme with.
- Pledge $200 or more, and I'll attach a GoPro camera to my head and give you a multi-angle set of vids so you will actually see, hear and FEEL the fear and anguish that I am experiencing on the way down. You can make a picture-in-picture meme for your internets.
- Pledge $500? I will promise not to curse at all, all the way down the building. If you know me well, you know that this will be a herculean feat that has not yet been accomplished at any event or activity where my pulse rose above 90 bpm. But for you, dear $500 sponsor, I can do it.
Please help me help this very worthwhile organization by sponsoring me at https://otecwe.com/lawrence/aaron-blanchard/ , and know that your money will be going towards enriching children's lives. (Except for any bets made on whether I make it down or not. That's all you.)
