Time for my shameless plea too! For the American Cancer Society....

In 17 days, for the 4th year in a row, in memory of my mother who lost her battle with lung cancer 11 years ago and for my pup, Lycos.com who we lost to canine heart cancer last year, I'll be participating in the upcoming American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Livermore, California.

While my colleagues in Solaris RPE have probably seen enough of my shameless pleas by now, I thought there might be others out there in Sun land who might like to contribute to such a worthy cause because unfortunately, cancer is a disease that doesn't care who it strikes...it strikes mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, grandparents. And for those who lose the battle, there are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles and grandparents who are left behind with their grief.

This year, my goal is to raise $2500 without matching funds! And so far, I've raised a little over $1800 but there's always more to be done, more money to raise in the time I have left before the event.

All of my collected donations are due to the ACS by Thursday, 06/21/07 so please donate online soon! I'll be standing ready to follow up with you via email once I see a donation and take care of all the paperwork in order to get your donation matched by Sun! For matching, you only need to make a minimum $5.00 donation...and while some would consider $5.00 a trivial amount, I truly believe that no amount is too small in the fight against cancer.

Thank you very much for your support.
