Good advice

Last week, I had scheduled a get-together with my 'co-driver' for the event in June. Since it was January, and we live in Iowa, a snow-storm made the face-to-face meeting unwise. I'd wanted to try and use Google's 'Hangouts' function anyway to see how well it would work for using during the drive. It seemed to work pretty well, I just need to figure out how to schedule one for a certain time and make it a 'on air' event so anybody can join it.

While planning this meeting, I got some good advice, or at least a reminder from my wife that this whole endeavor should remain fun, and not to get too hung up on the publicity, and the rest. I can't make everybody donate, but if I help one person, then it was good enough for me.

On the Move

No, it isn't a post about me taking up a new exercise plan. At least not yet. I've managed to enlist the help of someone to come along with me on this journey since my original partner can't make it. Not sure if I'd covered that or not yet. I don't need to remind you that I need to write on this more often. Anyway.
The astute observer will see there's a link on the side of the page to 'Donate'. Don't worry, this isn't an ad for revenue on this pokey blog, but the donations go through a website Crowdrise to the foundation directly. Otherwise, you can just work up donations to the foundation itself via their website Here.

I've got the plane tickets and other such stuff booked, so the trip is on either way, I'll be doing it either way, I just want to bring attention to a good cause. So please tell your friends, tell anybody you know in either Los Angeles or San Francisco, it would be great to see some friendly faces in either or both locations, as well as raise money for this cause. All is appreciated!
