DONATED: $2 330
GOAL: $10 000
REMAINING: $7 670
A couple cheques just landed in my lap and immediately went in to the Team Diabetes donation jar.

The big one is for a voice session I did for Western Financial, the smaller one is for the Links for a Cause in my sidebar courtesy of TextLinkAds. Next month I’ll be getting a cheque for my Google AdSense that I run with each post.
I’ve committed to Freelancing for Charity as I get ready for the Easter Island Marathon in June 09 with Team Diabetes. I need to get to $10 000 and these latest cheques will nearly double the fund raising efforts.
If you have need for an emcee, spokesperson, voice talent or anything along those lines, I’d appreciate you hiring me. I will do the work for you in exchange for a donation of the usual fees to my Team Diabetes jar. You get a professional product AND a tax receipt, I get closer to my goal.
This week, now that Z has started daycare, I’ve had some time to start running again. I’ve been lazy. I’m only running about 3k and huffing and puffing the whole way - a far cry from the 42k I will do in a year.
Team Diabetes sets out fundraising benchmarks to hit as you get ready for a marathon. My first one is for $2500 in October, I’m well on my way to making that milestone!

Thanks for doing this, raising funds and raising awareness about diabetes.
I want to invite you to join TuDiabetes.com: we’re a social network for people touched by diabetes. Our vision is that of a world where people with diabetes do not feel alone and people without diabetes understand what it’s like to have diabetes.
Most of our members are from the US, Canada and the UK. If you can help us spread the word about what we do, we’d be very grateful.
BTW, I LOVE your city! Vancouver, along with San Francisco, is one of the world’s coolest cities on my list.
Take care,
Good luck Buzz!
I just ran my first marathon (Vancouver Marathon) and had a great experience. Unfortunately, I got sick about a month before the event and it affected my time a little! I will be running for the Heart & Stroke foundation next year, so I know how big a goal it is to run for a cause!
