Folks, the following has nothing to do with Penn State or college sports, but it's important nonetheless. I, along with the SBNation family, try really hard to not bombard you with advertisements and spam, but I believe this is a worthy cause.

On April 29 I will be participating in the March of Dimes WalkAmerica. March of Dimes raises money for medical research to determine the cause of premature births, the #1 cause of newborn deaths.

If you know anyone who has dealth with a premature birth of a child you know how difficult and life threatening it can be for the child as well as how stressful it can be on the parents. March of Dimes also provides education and counseling to parents of premature babies.

I'm working to raise money for this very worthy cause. Being this is my first time participating in WalkAmerica, I have set a very modest goal to raise $500. If you feel so inclined to donate, I have set up a personal page where you can do so. There are also some links there to help you find a walk in your area if you're interested in participating in this great cause. Many thanks for anything you can do.
