The Vigilant Monkey's Fundraising Page
Hey everyone!!
Alex and I will be walking on Saturday, September 6, 2008 for Walk and Remember, a fundraising event to raise awareness and money for ovarian cancer research. Check out the site at www.walkandremember.com.
Keema Davis, who many of you know, will be walking as well, and her enthusiasm for the cause inspired us to join, even though there's only a week to go!!
As you can see, we're also proudly sporting the name of the soon-to-be coolest magazine on the web - The Vigilant Monkey. Once we launch, we want to become as active as possible in raising awareness and money for the most worthwhile causes out there. The full site might not be up yet, but we figure it's never too early to start showing our dedication and support.
While you're used to hearing about the two of us running in urban marathons, hiking through confusing woods, or biking through treacherous terrain, we couldn't be happier to walk (for a change) 3.1 miles for a great cause that has the potential to impact so many lives.
We're setting a fundraising target of $500, and any amount you can donate would be very much appreciated. Proceeds go to the Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research, a unique national nonprofit organization celebrating 10 years of research and preventative care for women’s cancers.
Thank you in advance for your support and donations!!
Oh, and if you'd like to walk, too, we'd love to have you join us =)
- Mel and Alex
