My Latest Adventure... A MARATHON???

Yup, that's right! I've taken leave of my senses and signed up to walk a marathon. As in a 26.2 MILE marathon for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.

Between now and the weekend of January 10, 2010, I will be training to walk a full marathon in my favorite place on earth, Walt Disney World. I'll also be working to raise $3,700.00 to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am walking in memory of my late friend Cliff Gorman, who died from leukemia in 2002.

Anything you can do to help me get the word out, and raise needed funds in this challenge will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Facebook 1.6 for Blackberry is here!

I just downloaded it for my crackberry a few minutes ago.

clipped from www.intomobile.com Facebook 1.6 for BlackBerry Available Tonight We had heard rumblings of Facebook 1.6 for BlackBerry not long ago, and tonight it will be available. The biggest changes will be profile and wall viewing right from the app (no more fuddling around the mobile site), commenting on your friend feed right from the home screen, and a new slideshow format photo-viewing option.  Language support for Thai, Indonesian and European Portugese are also a go, if you happen to be in those neighbourhoods. Hit up blackberry.com/facebook for your update around 6 PM EST.

Please Help Me Support AIDS Walk New York

I have registered for AIDS Walk New York on Sunday, May 17th, and am very excited about the event! I have set an ambitious fundraising goal and, if possible, I would like your help in order to reach it!

AIDS Walk New York, the world's largest AIDS fundraising event, benefits Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) and over 30 other tri-state area AIDS service organizations. GMHC is the nation's oldest and most comprehensive AIDS service organization, serving approximately 15,000 people living with HIV and AIDS and their families each year, and countless more through its prevention and advocacy work locally and nationally.

Even though there has been success with drug treatments that are prolonging some people's lives, they don't work for everyone. These treatments can also take their toll physically, and for many cause awful side-effects. I am also concerned that so many young people in New York City are getting infected. There is a dire need for comprehensive prevention programs and services that target youth in their language. And above all, there is still no cure in sight.

I would really appreciate your help. Please sponsor me for AIDS Walk New York. Just click on the link below to visit my personal fundraising Web page. It's fast, easy, and safe to make a donation online with a credit card, debit card, or paypal!

After making your donation, you may be able to double your donation with a matching gift from your company! Please consult your human resources department, or use the matching gift search engine on the AIDS Walk New York website, to find out if your company has a matching gift program!

Thank you for supporting AIDS Walk New York and for helping to put an end to this epidemic.

Tigger Opens a Bag of Cat Food

I wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes. Tigger is 10 months old, and weighs 8.5 lbs. The bag of cat food weighs 4.5 lbs. He's one very determined cat!
