Donate bitcoin to the satoshi freeathlon team
There are significant costs (details will be published before start) involved in organizing this event. We are hoping to convert these costs into bitcoin. Donations exceeding the costs will be distributed fairly among the team and help us organize more similar events. And more importantly it will encourage other sportswomen and sportsmen to join in on the mission.
