It's that time again. The "walks" have begun. And I really wanted to walk in this one too. Team Nova is the walk team for the family of a little boy who didn't make it due to a congenital heart defect. I had hoped that I might be able to walk with them, but that weekend is the reflow for Pineville, and I have to be at work at 5am .. which means getting out of bed no later than 4am. Yes, that's right, 4am.
So instead, I've pledged. And I'm asking those of you that bother coming here to read my blatherings to do the same if you can. This is a wonderful cause, and I'd be delighted to help Erin and her family raise as much money as possible. You have until Thursday night I believe.
EDIT: I stand corrected by Erin herself, you have until sometime in September to donate. It's the raffle (see below) that has the Thursday deadline.
And for those of you (I know there's at least one out there!) that knit, Gretchen is having a raffle, giving away some wonderful yarn prizes. One entry for every $1 you donate. She's raised over $200 so far, but I know it could be more!

Tania, thank you again for posting this...and did you see the pic of the runner up prize, yet? You were over there just as I was posting it, so I'm not sure if you did. It is oh, so beautiful!
Yes, thank you for posting this! But I want to clarify, online donations can be made right up till the walk (Sept 16th) and offline donations have to be turned in by the 11th. We're just cutting off all the raffles on the first so that I can be sure there's enough time to get the pot to the AHA in time for the deadline. (They won't accept Paypal, or that wouldn't be an issue.)
Thank you again - and I am SO sorry you have to get up at 4am that day! We'll be up by 5, if that makes you feel any better? We'll be on the stage by 7am. I am SO not a morning person!
