Follow One and Help Many

Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere! On Wednesday I posted about the RONA MS Bike Tour that MPW is participating in this weekend. I also threw out this challenge:
For every new follower between now and Friday I will donate $1*! Yes, that’s right…you can donate someone else’s money, so there is no reason not to help out. If you subscribed via email leave me a comment saying so (honesty policy reigns).
I have facebooked it, commented on many of blogs (in hopes that they return the favour and want to get involved, I didn’t actually say I was doing this), got people to twitter it and I have had a less than stellar response. Now, I know I am not strictly a book blog, but I do post a lot of reviews and I am participating in quite a few challenges, including my own personal one. I am attempting to read all the Governor General Literary Award winners for fiction since the prize began in 1936. This award is the most prestigious book award in Canada (I have my own opinions about the Giller).
There are so many charities out there that are looking for support and I really believe that the MS Society can use yours. Just by becoming a follower, you can help a cause that affects this little one here…
…whose grandmother has trouble even holding her because her Multiple Scelrosis has caused havoc on her body. The morning of the baby shower for this Little One, she was rushed to the hospital and I don’t even want to think about how many more important events she could miss because of this.
After today I will go back to posting fun and book-appropriate materials, but since the bike ride is tomorrow, I want to make my contribution today. And of course, if you follow me, I will follow you!
Posts to look forward to: A Surprise 60th birthday, Review: The Guinea Pig Diaries, My Weekend Alone, and Angus Update
Thanks for stopping by!
Yeah, That Just Happened!
