Ovarian cancer is striking females younger and younger (my 22 year old roommate is going through chemo right now) and is called the "silent killer" because of the high number of women diagnosed with it each year, most of whom are in the late stages of the disease because its symptoms are not easily discernible.

Now while my gal is walking around the country to raise money for a great cause I can go out and get some exercise as well! It's about time someone took fundraising to a virtual level!

Go to Find a Friend, enter your state and start reading some of the stories people have left. This is amazing and humbling and a really cool alternative to a "real" Cancer Walk.

Never thought I'd get to "walk" alongside my favorite CSI gals- Marg Helgenberger and Jorja Fox! I'm sending this around to my friends, what a good cause. This is such a clever idea!

Some people can't walk, or they have to work, and this is there idea of helping. I am going to make someone AND walk. Sounds like a good idea.
