My name is Chris, and I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease since about 1992. One of my passions is playing with cars -- and, particularly, racing them. Another thing I do, it just so happens, is poop often. To cut to the point, several of my friends and I are going to participate in an upcoming endurance race called
24 Hours of Lemons. The race is a particularly tongue-in-cheek -- a fun but grueling event.
A portion of our entry application is a team name and explanation of why we should be included in the event. I would like to make an entry that is meant to raise awareness of Crohn's Disease, Colitis, and IBD. With permission, I would like to use PoopReport as a point of interest of our entry.
The event is typically pretty rowdy and fun. I would like to use it as a lighthearted platform for the cause. We would solicit donations to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, but I think primarily it would just be some good advertising for the Foundation (and your website, if you want it).
I am not asking for any kind of sponsorship financially (although we would definitely take it if offered :-). I would just like to see if you would lend us your permission to use the PoopReport name and likeness for our car entry. I would also probably borrow some tidbits of funny stuff from the website.
We will be racing in the event even if it we don't deck it out in "Got Guts?" regalia. Funny and imaginative car decorations are encouraged, and I just thought it would be an easy way for us to do something charitable with our entry.
The event we will likely race in is at Carolina Motorsports Park, in Kershaw, South Carolina, September 12-13, 2009.
I look forward to your comments or suggestions!
Editor's note: Naturally, I think this is a great idea. I wrote back to Chris and offered to send him a handful of PoopReport schwag. I also asked him if there's anything we PoopReporters can do to help. Here is his response.
Dave,
That sounds great. I will be in touch. Stickers and graphics will be very useful.
I would love it if the PoopReport community could help me with a witty description of why we should be in the event.
I will have a website up eventually at Number2racing.com!
