knitchick1979I'm taking time from your regularly scheduled nerdy journal to make a serious plea.
Do you know someone who's had to deal with that worst scourge of the universe, cancer? Do you never want to hear that filthy word again? Well the American Cancer Society sure wants to eradicate cancer from this universe and the next, but they can't do it without help!
This year my friends and I are fundraising for the Norridge/Harwood Heights Relay for Life, and we are Team GEEK! Because, we're all geeks about something. If you've read my journal I think you can kind of guess what I'm really geeky about ;)
Our Relay is August 13th/14th this year, in Norridge Park. We need donations! We could also use more team members if you want to help us out (if you join as a team member you're not obligated to be there on the night of the event, though we'd love to have you walking the track and hanging out at our campsite).
Check out the Norridge/Harwood Heights Relay for Life event information.

Donate to my personal page!
If you want to buy a luminaria (they're these little paper bags that we fill with sand and put a candle in; they light the track we walk on), they're $10 and you can buy them online or message me (or comment here) and let me know you want an offline form, I'll get them from our coordinator and get it to you! Luminaria are great to honor someone lost to cancer or still fighting it, the name of who they're purchased in honor of is written on the bag and they read off the names off during the luminaria ceremony.
There's also a survivor lap for cancer survivors (and that includes those fighting now).
If you want to make an offline donation, let me know. There's a few ways to do it.
Help us work toward seeing the end of cancer!!!!
