today's the day!

with one day left in the raffle i am just shy of raising $7,000 for the lance armstrong foundation! that would be a personal record, for sure! send a link to this blog post to anyone you know who might still be interested in entering. i'll be drawing the winners tomorrow, while i'm wearing my yellow Livestrong shirt to celebrate Livestrong Day.

If you haven't entered yet, please do so by 12am Friday. If you can't make a donation, do something in honor of the cancer survivors and caretakers you know - wear yellow, send someone an email wishing them a happy Livestrong Day, take a walk... anything. Just get out and enjoy the day.
