Want 3 templates???

Its been a while since I hosted a contest and so here is the new one...
This is going to be a bit different then the normal contests I host here for Splat!
Like a Silent Auction of sorts!
As many of my returning customers and friends know I am training for a 1/2 marathon for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training.
It has been a wonderful adventure for sure and I am sure it will continue until I pass the finish line on May 18th!

In addition to the training I am fund raising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help find new cures... and I am almost finished with about 70% of my fund raising goal!
Donation Site

So here is my contest...
I will create 3 templates for the person that can help me raise the most money in the next week and a half.
The 3 can be seasonal, all different so you can pick and choose different looks whenever you want or you can pass them out to you and 2 other friends.
Take one for your self and do a giveaway on your site for the others...
Your options are endless!
This prize is worth close to if not a little more then $300.

What you will get...
3 templates including header designs, background designs, sidebar categories and a fun signature.
I will give the winner 15credits towards images at istockphoto... which can be split between the 3 sites or used how ever you prefer.

The ending date will be 11 days from today which is

April 25th

How do I do this... ???
To enter the CONTEST you must donate a minimum of $5 to my donation site.
Donation Site
Post one of these banners on your site and explain what you are doing and what the reason for the contest is...
(example)
Whoever is interested in signing up can click on the banner to find out more.
You can either help fund raise by explaining about the race and how this money is going to help The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's or you can hook up with 2 other friends and all raise money for the 3 sites.
Add the donation site link to your blog post about this contest and make sure you post that if anyone donates in your name to add your site name in their donation, so we can keep tabs on the amount you have raised!

Hi! I just found your site as I am totally looking to spruce up my blog. I am currently training with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as well. I am doing a full marathon on June 1st but will be running a half with some of my fellow team mates on the 17th. Good luck to you! I know I have had a wonderful experience, met some amazing people, and learned so much about myself, my body, training and the LLS. I am off to do a long run (17 miles) this morning.
