Benching for Boobies

Well now, that got your attention, didn't it!! :-)  You may have noticed that Lee is in pretty good shape - he likes to lift weights, and apparently, a lot of weight.  In addition to his YMCA membership, Lee is also a member of The Refuge, a powerlifting gym located in an industrial area of town - in my mind, the kind of place that is filled with a bunch of meat heads that play death metal music so loud that it makes your ears bleed...but I digress.  The Refuge has many dedicated and competitive powerlifters, with several members benching in the range of 500-900 pounds.  And just how much can Lee bench?  My friends, that question will finally be answered on June 26th!  That morning, The Refuge is sponsoring Benchpressing for Breast Cancer, a weight lifting competition that raises money to fight breast cancer - Lee is one of the many competitors. 
First, I encourage you to support Lee with your donations - this is, first and foremost, a fundraiser for a very important cause.  Second, I encourage you to support Lee by coming to the big event - if for no other reason than to have the chance to see Lee in his element!! 
We are accepting cash donations, as well as checks made out to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; you can also click here to make an online donation - if you donate on line, you MUST put Lee's name in the comment section so he can receive credit, as there is a prize for the person that raises the most money.  If you are interested in attending, leave a comment or send us an email and I will send you more information about the when and where.  Thanks for your support and looking forward to seeing you on June 26th!!
P.S.  He's going to kill me for this blog entry, but I'm sure that he'll have to back off if it results in a lot of donations - your help is greatly appreciated!!
