ladyspriteNo cute intros or anecdotes here - straight to the heart of the matter.

tpau and I will be taking part in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, walking 60 miles to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. This means, among other things, that we each need to raise $3000 by then.
I know it sounds like a lot of money, but I'm lucky. I have a lot of friends. Heck, I've got an idea that if everyone who reads this donated $10 we'd be pretty darn close to hitting that goal. I know that this is a lousy time to be asking for donations - people are out of work, people are scared, and if you can't spare anything you can't spare anything. But if you can, every little bit helps.
I'm doing this for so many reasons. I lost my godmother to breast cancer not too many years ago. I've watched other friends fight, and I know my family history well enough to know it's a battle I may have to fight someday. And it's been so frustrating to feel powerless, to not be able to do anything to help. Here's something I can do.
Please, donate if you can. Pass the word around, too, if you know anyone else who may want to contribute.

Thank you all so much - for reading, and listening, whether you can donate or not.
