Support

a dream takes more than sleep

So why should you donate? I don't know that answer. What I do know, is that everyone who donates $25 or more will send a 8"x10" photo from the trip. Right now, if only 24 people donate $100 (or 48 donate $50), I can do this. Or, if you all take pity on me and more people donate, I can move up from sleeping in tents to sleeping in a local hotel.

Right now I'm toying with different levels of donation: City, County, and State.

For all those donating, I'll set up a donation page with your name and a link (unless otherwise requested). For those donating at the County level ($1000 + ) I'll set up a special rotating script to put your name and link on the front page, while those donating at the State level (or higher) will get a mini-banner on all pages "above the fold" for the duration of this website's existance (which will be at least 2 years).

Budget

Some people have asked where the money will go, so I put together a preliminary budget. I plan on renting a car and then camping at night at Ohio's wonderful State Parks - unless Holiday Inn or some other chain wants to donate 24 nighs worth of accommodations.
