The Other Side of "Me"

I'll say this upfront: I'm the world's worst at asking anyone to donate their money for anything. But what a poor excuse on my part to be silent when something is so critically needed. So, I ask your pardon in advance because I'm about to be the most horrible, blunt, and tactless fundraiser you've likely ever encountered! 

I need you to help me raise at least $1,000. Now. Today. It's for one of the best possible reasons: further research into finding the cure for breast cancer. Need convincing? Refer back to my June 13 post and check out the stats. Really, this isn't rocket science.

Specifically, this is for the Komen 3-day, 60-mile walk in Cleveland (Aug. 3-5) that my friend Andrea is participating in on my behalf -- in my honor. 

If I can get 50 of you to each donate just $10, I'll match up to that amount.
You can:
Donate in honor of someone
Donate in memory of someone
Donate anonymously
Donate just to donate
And donating is easy: online or by mail.

Frankly, I don't care how you choose to donate and I'll take whatever you're willing to give. But I have to have your support to help propel the funding of breast cancer research.

Advances are being made every day in this battle. Finding a cure isn't just a phrase, it's real, it's happening, but it does take money.

Together, we can help beat back the CBitch. Donate for whatever reasons move you: for me, for moms, sisters, nieces, aunts, friends, co-workers, total strangers.

The CBitch isn't silent. She doesn't fight fair. And now, neither am I.
