Let's see if I can make this work this year...
While I am not participating in BOWL FOR KID'S SAKE this year given life circumstances, I am participating in the AIDS WALK FOR LIFE 2011, my employer's one big fundraising event each year.
My organization, the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont, is an amazing organization doing meaningful work all over southern Vermont, and is very worthy of support. Nonprofit budgets are super-tight these days, and every donation no matter how small makes a big difference.
This is my life's work, and it is extremely important to me. I'm blessed to come to work each day to a job I love, at a place that makes a difference, working with the gay and bisexual men's community on an issue that still affects us all. Even in the midst of my current emotional state, I'm grateful for that *every single day*.
This link SHOULD go to my FirstGiving online fundraising page, if I have done this correctly:

I continue to receive BEAUTIFUL cards and messages from you folks, and my mother does as well. I cannot thank you all enough. Each message means the world to me. I would love to respond and thank everyone individually, immediately, but it's beyond my reach at the moment. Maybe soon. Grateful hugs to you all.
