We were at the bar, and he wanted to document it. So he made me make the statement on film. Should do something with that. Definitely going on the website. Thanks Detox |

IMPORTANT UPDATE Many of you have given me great advice to make this work, and the major majority keep bringing up charity as a vital part to make this project succeed. Therefor I'm making it a part of the project...I'll donate 500,000$ to a charity if we get to the 1,000,000$ I think this will make it a easier "sell". What are your thoughts about this? |

Well, I was kinda hoping for some advice/ideas from the forum users. I'm looking to raise 20$ from 50,000 internet users. I have a website up and running from jan 2015 and also a gofundme account. "why you think you would raise $1M": It all comes down to a bet some years back. I made a bold statement that if anyone was to give med 1,000,000$, then i would crawl the New York Marathon. Now the bet has turned into a project. Is it possible?? |

In the mean time, I`m wondering if anyone think this could be done?

Thanks for your questions. I will of course do the crawl in one go (not splitt it up over many days) I'll finish when I finish...might take me 24 hours or 40 hours....so whatever time frame a marathon organizer has set will not have any effect. If they won't let me crawl for more than ex.7 hours, then I'll crawl the same route on a different date wearing one of those goprocams just to document it. About the money: Honestly, I have not really given it this much thought. I have had more focus on the project itself...is it possible and how to do it. So giving away maybe 50% to charity is something I would consider. Doing stuff for charity is great...but I wouldn't put crawling a marathon as a charity fundraiser. I rather sell some cookies etc. I'm not crawling for free, that's for sure. Again, thanks for your questions

This is one crazy bet. Crawling the NY Marathon for 1,000,000$
in Website Promotions
First and foremost. What I'm about to write is no scam, it's 100% real. I'm looking for a good discussion and your views about this topic.
Known for taking almost any bet, I once was asked what It would take to get me off gambling. "1,000,000$!!", I replied. Then I was hit with the question: "What would you do for 1,000,000$?" I wasn't really thinking straight, so I just bursted out "For 1,000,000$ I would crawl the New York Marathon." Stupid as it may seem, my buddy thought about this...and then asked my about starting a fundraiser to try and get the 1,000,000$ I said I'm up for it. If it was possible to raise the 1million, I would definitely crawl the marathon. So what do you think? Is this possible? Is it possible to get 50,000 internet users to donate 20$ each? This is no joke, the website an gofundme account is up and running. I have set 2 guinness world records before (not crawling), but I'm damn motivated to make this work. Your comments are highly appreciated...can this be done? |
