• *Warning* Shameless plug for donations ahead.....
  
  In October of this year my wife will be walking 60 miles in 3 Days to raise money for breast cancer research. she did this in 2001, so I know she can do it again, although it will take a lot of personal time to train for the event.
  
  In signing up, she has agreed to raise a minimum of $2,200 in donations. You may make a donation online at www.the3day.org/atlanta07/ssitze.
  
  As many of you know, I  lost my first wife to breast cancer when she was only 34. My children were only 9 & 6 when they lost their mother. This happens to too many families.
  
  I know there are a lot of worthy causes out there, but this is one close to our family, and I bet if you think about it, every one of you know someone who has or has had breast cancer, or has lost a loved one to it.
  
  If you would like more information on the event itself, go to www.the3day.org
  
  NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL!

• I'm going to piggyback and endorse Rob's request for donations.  My mother is a breast cancer surviver - her doctor discovered a small lump this past summer; she was fortunate to have her malignancy contained.  She had a mastectomy and never lost a moments steam .... BUT SHE WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES.  Take a moment and dig deep for this worthy cause.  I know I do.
  
  And Rob ... This is a plug for this worthy cause that should have no shame.

• I lost my sister to breast cancer the week before christmas 2005, she was only 34. 
  She was unfortunate in the fact that it went undiagnosed until she only had 4 weeks to live, despite going backwards and forwards to hospital with different complaints for the previous 18 months.
  
  So please, please, I urge all of you to donate what you can, it's a most worthy cause and every little helps.
  
  Well done Rob and your missus for having the balls to bring this to our attention.
