walk for a cause, walk and remember

The virtue of books is to be readable.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alex and I will be taking part in Walk and Remember, a 5K walk supporting ovarian cancer research and awareness by raising money for the Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research.

We (Team Vigilant Monkey, of course) have set up a page where you can make a donation to help us reach our $500 goal -


Donate safe and securely through the site via credit card. The donations are sent directly to the Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research, and Firstgiving will email you a printable record of the transaction.

It's that simple!! And if you check out the right-hand column of this blog, you'll find a widget featuring the real-time status of our donation goal.

A 3 mile walk isn't exactly a 20+ mile adventure race, but it's for a great cause, so I'll gladly do the walk this weekend =)

Plus, we get the 1st round results of the NYC Midnight Creative Writing/Flash Fiction Challenge this week and the 2nd round assignment this weekend. So while I'm walking, I'll be thinking about what to write. Stay tuned...
