A couple of years ago, I stayed up for 24 straight hours, posting entries every half hour, for the sake of charity, as part of an event called Blogathon. The ‘thon took a year off in 2004, but it’s back now and I’m signed up to participate.
The question is, what charity should I devote my energy to? There’s a list of suggested causes, but before going ahead and defaulting to my usual (the WWF, in case you’re wondering) I figured I’d float the query past you folks, since you’re likely to be my sponsors and cheerleaders.
The ‘thon takes place on Saturday, the 6th of August, bright and early. Bring it on, baby.

I’m surprised you didn’t say Ducks Unlimited… (unsure if that’s a Canadian organization or not). Hee hee. I’ll sponsor you. Will you blog or will you write story snippets every 30 mins? Maybe a charity like the local soup kitchen or Mustard Seed? Is there a Cancer research centre or Heart & Stroke foundation in your area? I dunno, just some suggestions. 🙂
I say give it to the bunnies, but that’s just me. I like the idea of picking a lesser known organization who doesn’t always get money thrown at them. I’m fairly certain there’s a local group down there that rescues bunnies and whatnot. Need to go find the link again. Or not if you’re not interested. *shrug*
I’ll sponser you, no matter what you pick as your cause, but I like the children’s hospitals better. You could check with the Shriner’s hospital, if you like my suggestion. Or not, if you get better ideas. I just know that there are a lot of children out there that need the help that those hospitals provide.
So where is your campaign URL? I didn’t find you listed. And Geoffrey is itching to throw money at lions & tigers & wolves, oh my.
