Sharon & I are going to JAIL!

https://www.joinmda.org/MyLockup/MyHomepage/tabid/15793/Participant/aking/Default.aspx

I'm sitting at work when I get a phone call from JoAnn at the Muscular Dystrophy Association center located in Bettendorf, Iowa. She proceeds to tell me I've got a 'fun warrant' out for my arrest on the day of Thursday, August 21st at noon. Someone nominated me for this, and I can't find out who it was because they are in the 'witness protection program'.

My parole officer should be in contact with us in a few days. I have recruited Sharon to go to jail with me, my co-worker. It will be more fun to go with someone anyway. We will be taken to Modern Woodman Park (always known as John O'Donnell Stadium) in a LIMO. We will be kept in jail for an hour unless we achieve our bail goal before. They can keep me all day I don't mind, I'm away from work!

Bail goal is set for $1600 which is really not that much money when it comes to MD research. Unfortunately the research is very expensive and this amount might fund about 30 minutes of it.
Help us help Jerry's kids! Go to this website and donate a little bit of money for the charity, it will have an area to fill out with credit card number and you can donate right from there. Sharon and I are going to have a mini bake sale at work, we'll make cookies and brownies. Even Nikki (other co-worker) is going to make some yummy cake cookies (which I may buy all of them) and donate them to be sold (to me)
