Tri for the Eye Fundraiser                          Donate

This is the website for Tri for the Eye, a fundraising effort taking place now through September 16th, 2007. By racing in the 07' Ironman Wisconsin triathlon,my goal is to raise funds for Eyeway/Score foundation. Based in India, Eyeway is an national organization that enriches the lives of the visually challenged.  A portion of the donations will go to the company making the Tri for the Eye T-shirts, and the rest will go to Eyeway.mailto:malmo@mindspring.comThis album is powered by BubbleShare - Add to my blog

Your donation

It was 3 months ago when I decided to race in Wisconsin. Like others doing events like these, I wanted to run it for a charity. I had recently moved to Delhi and I hoped to find an NGO that would fit the project.

I came to hear about Eyeway through a friend, and after a meeting with founder George Abraham and his team, I knew I'd found the right one. I was nearly legally blind myself until I got surgery, and I have some idea of the challenges the visually impaired face. "The problem is not with the eye, it is in the mind", George would say in our meeting.

The concept of Mind over Matter is applicable to many things in our lives, and it's the sort of thing you almost forget until you really need it. Your assistance is providing vital support to a good cause and lives will change because of it. We hope that when you face obstacles in your own path, you too will take inspiration from your choice and will find the strength to overcome them.


Donate Option#1

( Paypal )


This is very important or as they say in Hindi, "Yeh bahut zaruri hai!" You have two options to donate:1)

If you would like to donate less than 25$ or are not interested in receiving a T-shirt, please click on the Donate ( no T-shirt ) link located in the menu on the left.

These transactions will be handled by Paypal where you can pay by credit card or transfer funds from your own personal paypal account.

All donations are in US dollars, and I will be collecting all the funds under my own account in the US,(malmo)before transferring to Eyeway back in India. We 'd prefer all US $ donations to be made electronically but if you wish to donate by check, please e-mail me.

Donors living in India, please see the text below.

2) If you would like to donate at least 25$, click here or the Bucky Badger Tri for the Eye T-shirt above. You will then be directed to our T-shirt store, hosted by Goodstorm,  where in return for your donation, you will be sent an official Tri for the Eye T-shirt. ( Several hot styles are available <:)

Ironman Wisconsin is one of only 22 IM distance races run each year worldwide. It is being held on September 9th on the campus of the U. of Wisconsin-Madison. We've borrowed the fun, ferocious and flippant school mascot, Bucky Badger , to create the Tri for the Eye logo.





 

*Donors living in India
Due to paypal restrictions, donors living in India and paying with Rupees can only donate by check. Also, T-shirts cannot be shipped internationally from Goodstorm, but if the demand is there, I can arrange to have a bulk shipment made through private carrier. Please specify in you donor envelope if you wish to have a shirt, and your size, and we will find a way to get it done. The good news is that all donations are exempt of Income Tax under section 80G of the Income Tax Act if the donors are from India.
