LAST DAY OF THE ASF FUNDRAISER!

Today is the last day of the Aicardi Syndrome Fundraiser, raising money to fund research into a very nasty disease, and to support the families affected by that disease. (And also to make me try to duplicate some of the sillier and more sexist book cover poses.)

I am blown away by the support and generosity we’ve seen so far. I figured $10K was a dream goal, and as of this morning, we’ve raised more than $12,000.

This is my final call for donations. I said that if we raised $15K, I’d do a calendar. I’ve started playing with ideas, and put together a mock-up of what the calendar pages might look like. This one is a little too busy for my taste, but it’s close, and I think the whole thing could be a lot of fun.

So if you haven’t already donated, if you have a little extra money at the end of the year and are looking for a good, tax deductible cause, please click here for the details.

And thank you all.

Two More Poses

It’s the last day of the Aicardi Syndrome Foundation Fundraiser, and we’re within two hundred bucks of the $12,500 goal!

I don’t want to sound like an NPR pledge drive, but there are only 8 hours left to donate.

To keep the excitement and momentum going, I’ve posted two more cover poses behind the cut.

Two More for the After Dinner Crowd

We’re well past the $13,000 mark with four and a half hours to go! Every time I try to predict how much we’re going to make, y’all blow right through it. I thought $10K was a long shot, and then today I was thinking it would be awesome if we could hit $12.5K.

At this point, I’m not even going to try to guess whether or not we’ll make it to the $15,000 goal. I’m just going to say thank you and put up another pair of cover poses.

The fundraiser runs through midnight tonight!
