Want to log a cache & help a good cause at the same time? Why wouldn't you?
My dad was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in the fall. ALS is a a disease with no cure or real treatment. My family is forming a team to participate in the Washington, DC Walk to Defeat ALS on November 1.
In conjunction with this, Cash108 at TerraCaching.com has created an "Instant Challenge" in support of a Locationless Cache I created this month, 2014 Walk to Defeat ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) (LC7RF). Even if you're not currently a TerraCaching member, you can create an account, log this cache, and trigger a $100 donation to our team from the TerraCaching team. In order to log the cache, you can either make a donation to a walk team or participate in an ALS walk, yourself.
"...your donation of any amount (even a single 1 dollar) will see TerraCaching honor your effort by [donating] 100 dollars for the ALS cause..."
If you are a current TC member, you can read Cash108's forum post about DudleyGrunt's Instant Challenge for more information.

Re: A Geocache With a Cause - Fighting ALS
Sorry to hear about your Dad, Dave. I am aware of what ALS does and it's definitely a bad disease. You've probably heard of Steve Gleason, but if not be sure to look him up (Team Gleason and/or No White Flags). Definitely someone who was not going to let ALS define him or change who he is.
