My Good Deed For The Year

Mar 12, 2008 15:47

Today I signed up for a charity walk overnight in Seattle, late in June. I will be walking 20 miles Saturday night into Sunday morning with my girlfriend, Season. We're raising money beforehand for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. She lost her father to suicide last year, and has had other brushes with it previously in her lifetime. I haven't been the victim of a suicide event or attempt in my family, so I count myself lucky.

I will be able to raise the minimum amount necessary to participate ($1,000) out of my own private savings, and give Season's fundraising a boost too. If anyone on here wants to donate to the charity, let me know and I'll direct you to a webpage where you can contribute. We're encouraged to reach for MORE than a thousand bucks apiece, but I will be asking everyone to donate to Season's fundraiser to help her get to her goal and hopefully exceed it. For those who file income tax returns, all donations are tax-deductible too.
