On November 6, I’ll be running 5 kilometers in the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s Race for the Cure. Every year a whole lot of Hooverites participate, and this will be my second time out. My teammate Sarah had the bright idea to blog this request for sponsorships instead of forwarding an email, and I’m jumping right on that bandwagon:

I know you’re probably tapped out from all those hurricane-relief donations in this rough season, but you can sponsor my participation online if you still feel charitable. One in seven women will will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, so it’s an undeniably worthy cause. If you’d rather snail-mail a check, send it here:
