Rfalconcam Forum

After spending 4 months battling the cameras, network, computers, yadda, yadda, yadda of Rfalconcam, I finally have the time to work on something else.

So once again, my coworkers and I will be participating in the Rochester Heart Walk on April 22nd. The event is put on by the American Heart Association to raise money to fight heart disease, the Nation's number 1 killer.

Due to the past immeasurable generosity of humanity (and especially falcon watchers), my personal goal this year is to raise $500 gajillion. If you'd like to help me, please visit my Heart Walk page and make a donation. I'd really appreciate it, and so would the millions of Americans who are affected by heart disease.

Done!  Love the picture!

Thank you!


Thank you again. I took it with one of the cameras I was installing at the new nest box in Emerald City.

     :thumbsup: I donated! 

Thank you, Kris!

The influx of donations seems to have stalled at $210. There are only 5 days left until the Heart Walk, and I'd really like to get that number up.

Speaking of numbers...

$3.2million - Current amount of money being funded right here in Rochester
15 - Current number of active studies being done in our community
45 - Number of local jobs created due to AHA funding

If you'd like to be a part of this life saving cause, please visit my Heart Walk page and make a donation. I'd really appreciate it, and so would the millions of Americans who are affected by heart disease.

Done.  Shaky, we know you've got a heart.  You couldn't do all that you do for the Rochester falcons if you didn't have one. 

Thank you, Pat.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed!

I'm $90 away from my goal with only 4 days remaining. I could really use your help and so could millions of heart patients.

One in three Americans has some form of cardiovascular disease, and stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Your donation and support will help the American Heart Association continue their efforts to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

Making a donation is easy. Just go to my fundraising page for Heart Walk where you can quickly and easily make a secure online donation. You can also use this donation as a tax deduction.

P.S. Pat, stop spreading those vicious rumors that I have a heart. Everyone knows I run on batteries just like the ones in those Samsung phones.

Wow!!

I got home late and checked on my Heart Walk page.

$805!!!

Completely blew past the $600 mark. Thank you to all those who have contributed. Such generosity!

If you'd like to help fight cardiovascular disease and stroke, there are still 3 days left to make a donation. Can the donation total break $900?

Sweet! Glad to do what I can!

Thank you for your donation too, Ei!

Remember, everyone. There is still time to make a donation.

If I had a heart, it would be filled with joy.

P.S. $1000 is a nice round number. (Hint, hint.)

Shaky, I got you covered for $30, representing northern Nevada!  :wave:

I greatly apprciate your volunteering for the heartwalk.  :clap:

Wish it could be more, but now I am fully retired.  :-[

Hope you have decent weather for the walk tomorrow!

 :heart: Your friend in Reno,

Debbie Z
aka Falconatic1

Congrats, Shaky!  You surpassed your goal!   :clap:  :the_wave:

I can hear you now, with your lips tight......OIL!!  http://youtu.be/T-RHfXZkT1g (http://youtu.be/T-RHfXZkT1g)

Thank you, Debbie! You have a big heart!

Every donation counts, large or small. That you have given to help others while on a fixed income yourself says a lot about your character.

Thank you for your generosity.

Great scene from the Wizard of Oz. That's me except it would be more like GIVE ME THAT FALCON OIL!!

Thanks. I couldn't gave done it without people like you!

It was a great Heart Walk yesterday. The weather cooperated and the organizers did a fantastic job. Over 7000 people participated to raise a record $748,000. A portion of that, $1140, was raised by me (a personal record) thanks to a lot of generous people who kept giving and exceeded my fundraising goal every time I raised it.

Thank you!

P.S. I'd better stop now before I get all misty-eyed and rust my ax off.

Good job Shaky! Good job all that gave to such a worthy cause!  :clap:

Your welcome!! Glad to help!!

                    You're welcome!  Great job, Shaky!  :2thumbsup:

I found the video of me during the Heart Walk. I missed it at home because my ad blocker hid the video, and all I saw was the photo.

Nice shot!  You're not looking at Kodak, so you must be looking at FCT, Crossroads or the north side of OCSR, right?  Hey, I always do some falcon watching when I'm at Frontier Field.  :)

The video was shot on Morrie Silver Way just north of Frontier Field. From there I couldn't see anything toward downtown because the stadium was blocking my view. I checked the Kodak tower several times as I walked by on my way toward State St. No falcons.

Ah, true.  You can see downtown when you're in the stadium, but not from where you were on that part of Morrie Silver Way.
