Playground Confidential is hosting a raffle to raise money for breast cancer research at the Princess Margaret Hospital.  I will be walking 60 km during The Weekend to End Breast Cancer, September 12 -13,  and have only three weeks to raise $2000.  Read the post Money Can Buy You Love for more about the walk and my motivation.
