Cartwheels For The Cure

May 14th will mark the fourth consecutive year that I am participating in the Race For The Cure, which raises money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Their mission is to "eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment."

Sound like a worthy cause? Consider making a tiny donation on my fundraiser page to supplement the $20 entry fee I just rang up. Wouldn't donating a dollar or two make you feel all warm & fuzzy inside right now?

And there's something in it for you! The first 3 people to contribute will be honored with an original poem (posted here) in their name - I plan to demonstrate my impressive haiku, limerick and cinquain skills. Also, I will do one cartwheel during the 5K walk (with photographic evidence) for every person who contributes...

I'd really like to do 92 cartwheels, so e-mail this link to all your friends within 10 minutes of reading this - or else!

UPDATE: 2 contributions so far, act now before the coveted cinquain is gone!

  • I don't know if I was in the first three or not, but I just wanted you to know that I'm very proud of you. That's a really cool thing you're doing. If I AM in the first three, no need for a limerick... in fact, I may begin working on one for you! Good luck with the cartwheeling...

  • Since this walk is for Breast Cancer, are the poems going to be related to the donor's breasts?
