Yes, it’s that time of year again - I just registered, so I thought I’d start the fundraising process. From time to time, I will be posting this on the front page on my blog. The reason is simple. I get a lot of new visitors each week, and need to raise a large amount of money.

It’s a great cause, so please read on…

I’m asked by many people how they can repay me for my help with WordPress Themes. Whether it be solving bugs, customizing themes that I make free to the community, or simply taking the time to respond to emails and comments. If you want to know how you can repay me, read below and you’ll see.

It’s all about karma, and making the world a better place…

On August 7th of 2009, I will once again lace up my shoes for the Chicago Breast Cancer 3-Day, and start an emotional journey that will take me 60 very long and grueling miles from the suburbs to downtown Chicago. This walk will be hot, this walk will be painful. There will be sweat, and there will be tears.

Most importantly, this event will benefit women and help to save lives…

I am required to raise a minimum of $2,300 to participate in the event. By the time that you finish reading this, two more women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and another one just died from it. In fact, while I am walking those 60 miles, 110 women will die from this horrible disease. 110 families will lose a mother, or a daughter, or a best friend.

That is why I walk…

I don’t walk to get recognition. I don’t walk because I want people to think of me as a hero. I walk so that a little girl can grow up and spend time with her mother. I walk so that a mother can watch her daughter walk down the aisle at her wedding. I walk so that I don’t have to console another friend while a part of her life was taken too soon. I walk because I am physically able to, while others are not. I walk because I’ve been given so much, and I want to give back as much as I can.

I walk, because I cannot walk away…
