Hey Chris, I’ve been a follower of yours since the TechTV days and enjoy reading your blog and the wealth of information on Lockergnome. Given the reach of your information universe… I was wondering if I could impose on you for a favor. A very good friend of mine has been battling Lymphoma (and, fortunately, is now in remission. However, another dear friend’s brother recently passed away from this devastating disease. Lymphoma is the second fastest rising cancer in the United States today and the third most common form of childhood cancer).

I now have the opportunity to do something about this.

On September 30, 2007, I will be participating in the Lymphoma Research Ride. My goal is to raise $5,000 for the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF), a nationwide, non-profit organization dedicated to funding research and providing support and education for those whose lives have been touched by Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. LRF’s Scientific Advisory Board consists of the most respected leaders in cancer research and oncology, and is unrelentingly committed to finding a cure.

If you think it’s not asking too much, I would be tremendously gratefully if you could give me a quick mention in your blog. Anyone interested can find more information and can contribute by following this link: 2007 Lymphoma Research Ride.

I will absolutely understand if you feel this request is not appropriate. I will not take offense and I’ll still be just as much a fan. ;)

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.
