one last plea

[rone]

If you read my previous plea, and wanted to donate but didn't get to it, please let this serve as a reminder to visit my wife's fundraising page and donate.  Right now, at least US$5 will get you a bar of homemade soap as a thank-you.  Thanks!

I just donated what I can right now, and since there wasn't a place to indicate as much, I hope it's okay if I mention here that my donation is in memory of my friend and coworker Jenn Walton (http://www.savejenn.org), who passed away last week from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell tumor). She had been diagnosed just over two years ago, and had some bone marrow transplants ahead of here, but except when she was in the hospital for treatment, she kept coming to work and hanging out after, right up through last Thursday. Sometime in the night her condition took a dive, and she died Friday afternoon.

Thanks to you all for supporting this organization.

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend. I'll ask the manager of our team if there is some way for them to make a place on the fund raising sites for dedications. Or maybe that's something I could have customized my own site with. Thank you very much for your generous donation. It is greatly appreciated.

I talked to my team manager, and she said that I should email the Team in Training administration requesting that some sort of simple guestbook option be added to the fund raising websites so that people can make dedications. I will do that, because I think it is a great idea.

Also, she suggested that I could put Jenn's name on my t-shirt when I walk in Nike next weekend, as a dedication to her. I'd be very honored to do this for your friend, if you think it would be ok with her family. Let me know.

I added a dedication to Jenn on my fund raising website.
