+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi There! thanks for the interest in the coin! We really appreciate your support!! The coins will be completely trackable and will have their own unique icon. I should be getting the coins in about 2-4 weeks. If you are interested just let me know how many and what kind. I'll reserve them for you. Once they're in I'll send you info for Paypal payment and exchange contact/mailing info. Thanks again!!! Happy Caching! Barbara PM sent ... hope there is a set left to reserve. Definitely! I will reserve a set for you! They're due in around April 9th. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 My step father currently has inoperaple/terminal cancer. I'm interested. Is it better to purchase direct from you or the store - as in which way do you get more money or doesn't it matter? Hi there! I'm sorry about your father's condition! I know how hard it is! I don't think there is any difference how you buy the coins. FYI, they should be in around April 9th. Do you know how many/what kind you'd like? Thanks again Doverider Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm glad the ant. bronze is your RE as it's my favourite. Lost my mother and both of her parents to cancer so I feel your loss. I hope you'll let us know when they are available. Hi Droo, I'm expecting the coins in around April 9th. If you let me know how many/what type you want, I will reserve them for you. Thanks Barbara Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I was just talking to a friend about making some relay coins! I've been involved with the relay for life for years, and would totally purchase a few - please let me know when you're taking orders! Hi there! I'm starting to take orders now. I expect the coins in around April 9th. Do you know how many/what kind you'd like? Thanks Doverider Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 First and foremost, we are very sorry for your loss. I lost my father in June to colon cancer and my wife lost her mother July '08 to liver cancer. I also like the engraving option! We would probably purchase 3-4 of these. Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your father and mother in law. I'm so glad you like the coins. Do you know what Kind/quantity you'd like. I'm reserving them now. Thanks, Doverider Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 This is one I'd probably buy. Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that the coins are due in around April 9th. If you let me know what kind/quantity you'd like, I will reserve them for you. Many Thanks Doverider Barbara Dove Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi! Thanks for you interest! That engraving idea is wonderful! I really like it and may use it in the future. For this year, our first, we decided to do this in honor of my Brother. He loved to travel so we're sending his spirit round the world with a coin. Sorry for your loss. Having lost a couple of friends to cancer and with my half sister being a survivor I would be interested in a couple of them myself. I really like the idea of using some of the money from the coins' sales to help the ACS, and the coin is a great design. Not trying to be disrespectful or anything as I understand where your idea came from, but what if you were to remove your brothers name and dates from the coin and left it as a blank engravable area so that people who purchase this coin could have them custom engraved with a friend or loved ones name and dates? Either way, you can count on me for at least 2 or 3 of these coins... Hi there, Part of the idea of this coin is to spread my brother's love of travel... sort of sending little bits of his spirit round the world. I like your idea, though. Maybe we'll do an engravable one next year. I just wanted to let you know that the coins are due in around April 9th. There are a couple of pictures in this post. If you let me know what kind/quantity you'd like, I will reserve them for you. Many Thanks Doverider Barbara Dove Quote Link to comment
+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I am so sorry for your loss. I, too, have lost a close friend to cancer. He was only 49. Raising money for the American Cancer Society is a wonderful cause, of course, but I am also excited about buying some and releasing them to travel and spread awareness. Hi Gillianms, I just wanted to let you know that the coins are due in around April 9th. There are a couple of pictures in this post. If you let me know what kind/quantity you'd like, I will reserve them for you. Many Thanks Doverider Barbara Dove Quote Link to comment

+doverider Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Nice coin. Just thought I'd point out a little typo before you make it. The word "remember" is missing an "m" on your coin. Other than that, it looks good. Hi There! I though I'd let you know that the coins are due in around April 9th. If you let me know what kind/quantity you want, I'll reserve them for you.

+doverider Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Does anyone have helpful hints on how to promote and sell Geocoins? I created a coin that I'm using to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society. So far I've sold about 50. I'd like to sell all 225 in time for our Relay for Life event in June. The minter, Geocoinstore, is carrying some, I've posted here on the forums, and offered them through eBay and the Relay for Life websites. those who have received theirs are thrilled with them. I'd love to sell out in time for the event. The Flyer / Posting I've been using is below: Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated! Our Fight Cancer Geocoin is available for purchase!

Firefly03 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Lost both my Uncle and Grandfather to cancer. We also lost both of Darryl's Grandparents to cancer. This is a very worthy and noble cause. Payment for a set has been sent. Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Last year we lost my brother Frankie to Cancer. He was only 44 years old. Losing him deeply affected our entire family. When we looked around, we saw many other families going through the same tragedy and decided to do something about it. We are entering the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Using Frankie's 'handle' - Moxie Man, and his passion for acting, and his military background, we've designed a Geocoin that will be used to raise funds for The American Cancer Society. The coin will be trackable at geocaching.com. THE MONEY WE RAISE will help ensure that the American Cancer Society continues to meet the growing demand for its services - free rides to and from cancer treatments, temporary lodging near treatment centers, help finding clinical trials and affordable insurance, summer camps for children and teens with cancer, and so much more. I'm planning to have the coins available by spring 2010. The coins will go for $10 each. We will also have some limited edition coins that will be auctioned off. I'd like to get an idea of how much interest folks have in purchasing the coin. Please chime in with your thoughts! Thank You! Barbara My first thought was that you will probably need permission to use the purple ribbon. It's a great cause but these Orgs treat their branding and logos very seriously. Quote Link to comment

+kini_ont Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Barbara, I thought you'd like to know, tonight our town (Penetanguishene) is celebrating it's Relay of Life event. We are just a small town of 9000 but about a third of the town is out walking, singing, and just enjoying life, it's just wonderful. So tonight our cousin is walking, she is also a cacher so as an incentive and to keep her focused in the wee hours of the morning I gifted her your coin. I need not tell you her reaction but that coin will travel tonight and it will warm a heart, thank you for developing this wonderful coin in memory of your brother and all the others we've lost to cancer.
