Run for Someone's Life

CARLSBAD, CALIF. -- Along the Pacific Coast today, four dozen people will run up to 26.2 miles to help a handful of children with a potentially fatal disease.

One of the runners is My Love.

One of the children is Thing 1.

This is their cause:



Thanks to all of you who have donated to our efforts. We have exceeded our $25,000 family goal and Cure JM met its overall fundraising goal of $150,000 for the event. You are the most generous, literate blog readers around. You also smell fantastic.

Thanks to our 16-year-old neighbor (and occasional babysitter) for helping put the above video together. In five years, your first legal beer is on me.

Thanks to the rest of you who put up with my begging and pleading here and elsewhere on the Web over the past six months without unsubscribing. I'm grateful and humbled ... but not dumb enough not to try to get you to fork over a fiver or two one last time at our donation site.

Back with the funny later this week. Cheers!
Smells like: ,
