Ron Sharon is a down-on-his-luck 27 year old former IT executive from Irvine, California. Sharon recently created a website announcing that he was establishing a goal of 30 days to acquire one million dollars. With few commodoties and a great deal of hutzpah, Sharon is soliciting the citizens of the world to assist him in his "amazing adventure".He explains that a few months ago, after losing his job as an IT manager due to downsizing, he also lost his girlfriend. "And, as if that wasn't enough" Sharon recently discovered his ex-girlfriend had become an adult film actress. He goes on to say that after sitting around moping on his couch for a couple of days, Sharon woke up one morning with a crazy idea and the amazing challenge that he intends to meet.
On his website and in press releases, Sharon has matter-of-factly explains, "Recent events in my life have made it clear to me that I need an amazing to meet an amazing challenge to bring my life back on course. My goal is to make one million dollars in thirty days, by auctioning off the entire content of my apartment on eBay, selling my signature t-shirts and by donations."
If Sharon is successful in his attempt to collect the one million dolalrs, he promises to donate fifty thousand dollars to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Plans for the remaining income (or all of the monies collected short of one million dollars) include paying off his bills and starting a business.
The first day of Sharon's thirty day adventure starts on Thursday February 8th at 12:00am. Ron Sharon is placing the items from his apartment up for sale on eBay. He has already begun advertising his personally designed signature T-Shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, boxer shorts, camisoles, sphaghetti tanks and thongs at CafePress. For those who would simply prefer to make a donation, he is accepting payments through PayPal.
Early Wednesday morning, with 18 hours remaining before kicking off the 30 day challenge, Ron Sharon offered yet another opportunity for people to help.
"I have decided to have a raffle every day"
