Just a quick note: my sister Stephanie is participating in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women next weekend to raise money for women's cancer research. I know that if you're like me, you're probably besieged by many more appeals for worthy causes than you can possibly contribute to, but if you happen to have a bit of cash to spare, go to the link above and make a sponsoring donation. I have loved-ones who are breast cancer survivors thanks to the research breakthroughs of the last decade and a half or so, so I know that my donation will be money well spent.
