American Cancer Society Spyder Ryde

[ACS Spyder]

Hello, my name is Greg Johnson. I'm a 40 year old disabled American who has been out of work since 2009. I have been trying to find a way to give back to society, and it came to me after my best friend lost his longtime girlfriend to colon cancer in April. I have decided to dedicate the rest of my life to raising funds for American Cancer Society. I need help raising funds to get a 2015 Can-Am Spyder RT. I want to organize a 3000 mile cross country Spyder ryde in October to raise funds for ACS. I plan on doing monthly regional or national trips like this. Please visit and donate. www.gofundme.com/acsspyder Thank You

Greg, you also posted this yesterday in another forum category, and you later added a link to a GoFundMe.com campaign that said your goal was $40,000.... $30,000 for the bike and $10,000 for gear and travel expenses. Not that it really matters, but the link you provided here took me to a 'campaign not found' page. I am truly sorry if you are, in fact, disabled and out of work. Either, or both, of those issues are difficult to deal with. On balance, however, your request for donations (sort of) on behalf of the American Cancer Society and the explanation around it has hair all over it. As a matter of fact, I personally don't believe it. I was going to let this go, until it reared its head again today here, but since you've persisted I just thought I'd weigh in.

I agree. Trust your gut. Sounds very fishy.
