Day 14321

I've never kept a journal in the past that wasn't part of some school exercise and even that was mostly fake. This has been real. This blog has been very valuable to me in its ability to help me think some things through. Some of the feedback from all youse out there has helped quite a bit as well. Admittedly, I guess this has been a selfish exercise. It's time for a curveball (Timely baseball references rule!)

This link goes to a site that will allow a person to make a donation to a worthwhile cause. The cause is Krista Wallace's Team In Training. This is a program where individuals, in this case, Krista (who is a very sweet lady), are trained to participate in an endurance race, specifically the Lavaman Triathlon. In return The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society gets some much needed funds to aid in the research of a cure. This is a win-win arrangement.

Anyway, those of you who know Krista know she has been dealt a surprising little hand and because of this, probably has had a tougher time raising the funds (Her goal is $4800 US) than originally anticipated. So, I had an idea. Looking at my stats page for this Blog, enough different people have visited here, that if only each of us had donated $1 US, she would surpass her goal! Presently, she is exactly $400 away. Please help this lady reach her goal and many suffering individuals reach theirs, by making just a token donation. One small gesture could mean so much! Krista doesn't know I'm doing this, but if she did, she would certainly thank each of you for your help. I'd like to thank you for considering it.

If you would like more information on the program, check out these sites. The Why. and Team in Training.

And again, to donate to Krista's Team in Training, click here.

Have some good karma!

What a wonderful thing to do! I know Krista would be so pleased. Not to mention all the people this money will go toward helping. Excellent blog entry, truly excellent!
