St. Baldrick's - One More Plea!

As I announced earlier, this Friday I'm having my head shaved to support St. Baldrick's Foundation and CureSearch in the fight against childhood cancer. My donations currently total $1,191 -- a mere $9 shy of my $1,200 fundraising goal for this year. (The total listed on my St. Baldrick's page doesn't include cash donations.) I need just one more donation to put me over the top.

If you've already donated on my behalf, thank you once again. And if you haven't donated but might be leaning toward doing so, there's still plenty of time. You can donate online here. (If you want to donate with check or cash instead, just let me know.) I'll even sweeten the pot a bit. The next person to donate and put me over the $1,200 goal will not only gain my eternal gratitude, but also their choice of one of the following books:

Roddy Doyle - A Star Called Henry
Jonathan Raban - Bad Land: An American Romance
Alan Jacobs - The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C. S. Lewis
Asne Seierstad - A Hundred and One Days: A Baghdad Journal
Dave Eggers - You Shall Know Our Velocity!

The book will be free, and I'll even cover the shipping charges. If you're the winning donor, I'll follow up for your mailing address. Thanks, everyone!
