I don't know where the year's gone, but this coming Sunday is the Disney Princess Half Marathon! My friends and I are once again running in honor of our friend Mel (aka Fiver), who was diagnosed with ALS in 2007. You may remember Mel from our Glee group at Dragon*Con this year, where she did a bang-up job as our Artie. (Last year she was the Lincoln Memorial in the Night at the Museum group. Her sense of humor is quite undimmed, as you can see.)

My friends and I, aka Fiver's Flamingos, are again raising money for the ALS Association of Georgia. ALSAGA is a wonderful organization that provides incredible support for those affected by ALS, including Mel and her family. From their website: "The ALS Association Georgia Chapter aims to empower, care for, and support all those living with ALS in Georgia, while advocating for a cure." Last year, we raised over $2600 for ALSAGA!

Please, if you can, would you donate $1 for every mile we are running? That would be 13.1 miles for $13.10. And even if all you have is $1 total, every little bit helps. 100% of your donation goes to the ALS Association of Georgia. Not one penny goes towards administering this group or paying race fees, etc.

Here is the donation link. (The page says it's for the Walk to Defeat ALS. That's the correct page, and your money is going to the right place.)

Thank you so much!

I tried to click over, but the page is freaking out and keeps "redirecting" me. When I tried to search from the page, it's not finding you.

Please let me know when it's working again.

Huh. It's working for me in Firefox. What browser are you using?

Let me see if I can dig up the direct link...

I was using the Internet Explorer on my work laptop.

I got in with the direct link. Thanks!
