eustaciavye77We are awaiting the arrival of the last member of our support team who will hopefully not get too lost on the way here. One of my friends volunteered to get up early on Sunday and carry us through the last couple of hours.
Perhaps now is a good time to explain WHY I do this. I could just donate a bunch of money to this cause myself. I might in fact. There is something nice about raising money for a cause by pulling together a groups of small donations. It allows people to see how all the little pieces come together. But there's something else.
In order for great things to be achieved every person needs to be willing to put in some effort and sometimes make sacrifices. This is something i can do, since I can't throw over $500 at a charity most of the time.

Everything is really funny right now. I tried to write a serious post about why I do these events but all I can think is "hey let's set the Narn on fire I bet the scales burn pretty"
