As some of you know, I have had a connection to Gilda's Club Madison for several years, as they have been on a panel at the National Women's Music Festival (when we showed ALL WIGGED OUT), and they have tabled at the fest every year since that time. 

When I saw they were having this benefit run/walk, I noticed that they said you could sign up as a virtual runner/walker and do the walk anywhere. 

And here's something weird: I happen to be signed up to do a half marathon walking in Portland Oregon on the very same day. Many people had asked me: is the Portland event a benefit run? Well, no, but I thought: I will register for the the Gilda's Run/Walk and do the actual walking in Portland at that marathon. 

And I am thinking: THIS JUST MIGHT WORK!  

Those of you who have been following my training for the Portland event, I hope will consicder supporting my (now) fundraising efforts for Gilda's Club. They really are an amazing organization, providing a wide array of programs and services for cancer patients and their families. THANKS SO MUCH.
