Welcome!

Welcome to my Race For Rich page dedicated to Rich Mahe. Please read the story below then proceed to the link on the bottom right of the page (or here) that will instruct you on how you can help support the young family he left behind. Best of all you can donate without spending a dime of your own money! Besides setting up a trust to support the family, we also plan on starting a foundation in his name. Please do what you can to help us honor the memory of a really great guy that touched the lives of so many. Thanks

How the Race For Rich will work

My life has been full of procrastination. Everything I have ever set out to accomplish has almost always started with procrastination, usually followed by altogether failure. This time failure will not be an option. With Rich to help give me strength to push through, I am going to do something I always wanted to do; run a marathon.

Right now I am nowhere near in shape to do this. I am at 230 lbs and would be lucky to run 2 miles. But next March I will run in, and finish the Oakland marathon. Nothing will stop me from doing that. And by doing this, the hope is to help take care of Rich's family, as well as help others.  When I cross the finish line, I intend to present Martha with a large check in Rich's honor.

I am hoping that we can all band together and help raise as much money as possible to take care of his family and more.  In a few months I will start to accept donations as well as sponsorships for the marathon.  In the meantime, I found a great way people can contribute financially without paying a dime from their own pockets. 

I have listed several sites on the right sidebar that pay for viewing ads.  I chose these specifically because they will not result in spam or unwanted phone calls.  All you need to do is log in, view an ad for a few seconds and your account is credited.  These links will put you under me as the referrer, therefore, I will get credited with 50% of what you make.  I also challenge everyone to donate the money they collect from the site to the cause as well.  Particularly Hits4Pay will be great if we all donate what we make because you get a $10 bonus for joining.  If you make it to the payout of $25 imagine how much that would be from everyone?  All of the money I collect will go directly to Martha and the kids.  They don't pay a lot per ad (usually 1 or 2 cents), but as you can tell from all the people that loved Rich, a lot of people working together can make a big difference!  Click here to see how you can help.

You can join as many as you want, but don't start more than 1 account per person or on the same computer.  That would get you banned.  I am going to promote this all over the internet as well.  I am confident this can do quite well. 

I will admit to being a little selfish here.  I feel terribly guilty for not getting to say good bye to Rich.  I look at this as my chance.  Please help me honor his memory by doing what you can.
