And So It Begins, Again
This year's event is over and done, which means it's time to start planning and prepping for next year.
Next summer, July 2012, I will once again be participating in the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk For The Cure, walking 60 miles to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. This will be my third year participating in the Boston 3 Day, and each year this event just becomes more and more vital to me. I am proud beyond belief to be part of something so important and life-changing, even as I hope each year that it becomes less and less necessary to have such an event.
In order to participate, though, I need to raise money. I learned last time just how generous my friends and chosen family can be, and I know just how important this issue is, to the world in general and to people I know and love, and so I've set myself a pretty mighty goal this time around - I want to try, over the next year, to raise $5000 for breast cancer research.
I know that's a lot of money, but I also have faith that, with your help, I can do it. I know that funds are tight for a lot of people right now, and if you can't donate, you can't - don't worry. But if you can, every little bit helps.
So please - donate, if you can. Feel free to spread the word, too, in case you know anyone else who may want to contribute.

Thank you all so much, for reading, for listening, and for your support, whether you donate or not.
