We all have different reasons for getting into cars and 914s in particular. My passion for Porsches comes from my dad. From a very young age, I remember riding in between my parents in dad's 914-6 as we adventured around the midwest, and in later years attending vintage races at Road America every summer as a family. Unfortunately, dad battled both Leukemia and Lymphoma and passed away at just 46 years old. My enduring passion for cars is because of dad, and every time I hop in my 914 I think of him.

In honor of dad I'm running for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLC) Visionary of the Year, a 10-week campaign focused on raising funds and awareness for blood cancer. I've set an ambitious goal of raising $150k, and now just shy of 2 weeks in I'm bout 15% of the way there. I have a variety of fundraising tactics I'm employing to reach my goal, and naturally one avenue is reaching out to my various networks for support. If you or someone you love has been impacted by blood cancer such as Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Myeloma, would you consider making a donation to the campaign?

You can learn more about my campaign and make a tax deductible donation at www.TeamTaccio.com. If you've read this far, thank you!

Side note, I have a fair amount of 914 parts in the garage that I'll be listing in the classifieds forgoing payment in lieu of a donatoin to my campaign of the buyer's choosing.

We've had an enormous outpouring of support in this campaign and just past the halfway mark, I've made really good progress toward my goal fo raising $150k. Thanks to everyone who's supported thus far.

Beginning today, LLS has given my team a challenge of getting a donation from every US state. If my team is the first to check every state of our list we'll get a $2k donation bonus.

Any donation amount will satisfy the LLS state requirement, be it $1, $5, $20, etc. We're particularly looking for donations in the states below. If you live outside MN (where I live) would you consider making a donation at www.TeamTaccio.com?

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Deleware
Hawaii
Idaho
Louisiana
Montana
Nevada
New Mexico
Oklahoma
Rhode Island
South Carolina
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wyoming

Thanks for your consideration, to everyone who's supported thus far!
