Same question. Some of us FOGs don't trust pay-pal.

We are starting in Denver, and going east as hard and fast as we can. We aren't using PayPal, but just straight credit/debit card will work (assuming you trust that). It works the same as if you were doing any other online shopping.

As far as a snail-mail donation, I don't want to turn you down, but at the same time it helps if the donation is through our online donation platform for accountability reasons. If you really don't want to go that route though, the best address to use would be:

Blackside Concepts
PO Box 63925
Colorado Springs, CO 80962

Thanks for the help guys, and I'll be posting up lots of videos and updates on our social media pages as we progress, and of course the documentary (once it is edited) will be awesome as well!

We are taking off tomorrow at midnight, finalizing my pack right now. We'll be headed east from Denver, with the intent of reaching NYC within 12 days. We'll be posting updates as we go on the various Blackside Concepts social media platforms, if we make it to your AO, we won't turn down a ride, sandwich, or coffee!

Also, if you are interested in donating, you can pledge as little as one cent a mile at the following link:

I'd say good luck, but you two won't need it. You make your own luck. I'll make a donation in the next day or two.

Just got back, good to be home! Thank you to everyone who supported us - monetarily or otherwise. We couldn't have gotten as far as we did without you. I have a lot to say about this trip, more to follow! Oh, and we raised in excess of 20k for Gallant Few!
