well, i gathered my courage and totalled all the donations to my marathon fundraiser so far...and i've got $1250! which i think is amazing and wonderful and i can't express enough gratitude to everyone who's donated or helped me to raise money, from spreading the word on their blogs, to selling precious vinyl records (thanks dad), to suggesting unique ways to get some cash.

i know i sound like a broken record, but if you read this blog and you haven't donated and you are in a position to do so, please drop $10 (or more!) at the paypal button on the right. i've still got $750 to go by october 22. you can read the reasons why i'm fundraising for the lombardi cancer center here.
