As you probably know, I am walking 60 km over two days in the Weekend To End Breast Cancer this September to raise money for breast cancer research. If you read my last post, you also know that I don’t have a personal breast cancer story, not yet. But lots and lots of people do.

Since I know that you want to donate to this worthy cause. And I know that you mean to donate. And I know that you already have contributed a lot to various causes this year. And I know that you think that you will, just not right now. I will bombard you with stories that will break your heart. And you won’t be able to look away because they are so compelling and you won’t be able to say no. And you will read them and you will DONATE HERE. (And you could win prizes … I’m working on the prizes … but that’s not even the point, right?) And you will do that NOW. Because I have only three weeks to raise $2000 and I need your help.
