margarks is planning to run a marathon next year, and this marathon supports the fight against stroke, a potentially debilitating disease that affects many people world wide. I'm sure you know someone who has had a stroke; my husband's grandfather died from complications of a stroke. Margie has started a com,
fund_fic to help her raise the money necessary to participate in the marathon; here's the URL for the
User Info page. Donate money direct, or take advantage of the services offered in the comm. People are offering to write fanfiction for monetary donations to the charity. Although I don't see a posting in the comm yet, I know
ponders_life is donating her icon making skills to the cause. So all you non-fanfictiony friends on the flist, you might want to take advantage of that.
Margie, if you see this, I can't do graphics, and I don't think I can write fic on demand either. It's like pulling teeth for me, and I'm so slow at it. I would like to volunteer to do something, though. This sounds lame, but do you have any task I could do to help?
