Thanks bastet, awesome pic by the way. That was what she told me, i wasn't there for it, and it was after she took her meds. :)

I know, it's ALOT of money. She has particapated in Poker Runs before, and maybe she just got lucky, but one was $650 per person. It doesn't need to be a poker run, but it just seems like would be the easiest way to raise that kind of money. Well, unless I were running for some kind of office.

Thanks esebulldog, the bbq things is a good idea. Um... I don't know how much money one could raise with that though. What she needs is a few hundred thousand, and i just don't think one could get that charging $10-15 a plate. I will google that place in Texas and see what they say. :)

Yeah, i was afraid someone would say that, but i can barely balance a check book, which is why i don't have one. I don't believe she owns a bike, usually just likes riding with her arms around someone else. And i don't ride, i'm just a friend trying desperately to help her out. Truth is, i've never even tried anything like this before, i usually just end up following.

Look, i realize it's alot to ask. I plan on helping to organize as much as i can, but i just don't know how to get started. And, to be perfectly honest, i've never been the type to just walk up to people i don't know and start a conversation.

She's tried that already, believe me i would not be on here unless we were out of ideas.

Maybe i'm in the wrong place, but would anyone be interested in doing a Poker Run for a very good cause? I'm looking for someone to organize one as well as others to particapate. A good friend of mine needs a life saving surgery, but she doesn't have anywhere close to the money she needs to pay for it. She is a single mother who was ridden with multiple clubs and has seen her share of the open road. She has done things for Easy Rider Magazine in the past, and is looking forward to getting back on her feet so she can do it again. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I am who I am, so what do you guys think?
