Being run on the same day. Maybe we should use this site?

My calendar says that July 17-18 is the day that we are doing the blogathon and this site says July 24.

Does your calendar not show these as separate dates? (Sorry. I had to say it. I am bored. Don't mind me. I will crawl back into quietness now.)

I had assumed that since the blogathon is usually run on the last week of July, that the LJ one was as well. I am mistaken.

You actually had me thinking I had it down on my calendar wrong which would have been a very bad thing as I have a prior and very important commitment for the last weekend in July . . . at least I think I do. In any event, it would have precluded my participation.

But my participation is already at issue because I am trying to find a charity and so far I haven't had much cooperation.

Hey, if you want to blog to help with leukemia & lymphoma research, let me know-- I'm fundraising and running a marathon, and would love to have someone blogathonning with me for the same goal. I'm set up for online donations and everything.

My mother is a breast cancer survivor and since I have twice found lumps in my breasts that is the cause that is near and dear to my heart, both physically and emotionally.

But if I can't find a way to have people donate and for me to know who did donate so I can thank them personally . . . I may have to expand my horizons on this one.

Well, you could go low-tech and ask people to send you a check made out to the breast cancer association you'd like to work with, then forward the checks to them. Or ask folks to comment to your blog when they donate so you'll know who did and can thank them.

That's one drawback to a lack of blogathon-- blogathon acted as a kind of clearing house for the donation process.
