If it is ok with you, Joe, I have an idea to help raise some money for the site.

I am planning to walk in both the LiveStrong Challenge walk (Oct 24, Austin) and the Komen Race for the Cure walk (Nov 1, Austin).

I plan to pay my own entrance fees for each event as always, but I would like to customize where my donations go this year.

I want to email all of my people who have generously helped me raise $$ in the past for these walks and ask them to donate to HER2Support this year. I will send them a link to the donations page, but I was wondering if HER2Support has a paypal account? It might make it easier for folks who don't have personal paypal accounts (I don't for instance) to donate to the organization.

Thanks. Let me know any thoughts that any of you might have about this idea before I move forward with it...

Good idea Brenda - count me in.

I use to walk at the 3 day here in Tampa but can no longer do that.

I will see what you have to say. Any help we can give to Joe and Christine for all they do would be marvelous.

Yes we do have a paypal account. Click on "Make a Donation" and then the credit card logo.

Regards

Joe- when I click on it, the page that it takes me to is a page that requires me to sign in with my email address and my paypal password for my paypal account. I don't have a paypal account and I don't want one. It doesn't take me to a page for HER2SUPPORT where I can just easily donate via paypal. Please click on it and tell me how it works. Maybe I am missing something.

Brenda from my understanding I thought you had to have a paypal account to donate? I could be wrong. I know many years ago I had to get a Paypal account to donate to the Doggie Rescue Group I had chosen to help.

Brenda,
Vickie is correct. Unfortunately we do not take credit cards.

There are 2 alternatives:

1. Mail a check made out to: HER2 Support Group and mail to our address.

2. Email me and I will send you our account number and the routing number of our bank and you may make a direct wire transfer.

Regards
Joe

I think I have used paypal for several things and have never had to have an account in my name. For instance Ebay. Or am I just crazy?

hmmmm. Now I am confused.

You have to register to use paypal to pay for things...Ebay etc. You can only use a credit card on paypal for a certain time (and amount), then you have to register and link Paypal with your bank.
Dont worry, its just the chemo brain!!!!
