Have a facebook page? Want to help a good cause?

As mentioned in my last post, I signed up to walk in the TNT Walt Disney World Marathon with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training. I am walking in memory of my late friend, actor Cliff Gorman, who died from leukemia in 2002. At some point, they will also match me up with an honored participant who is someone either currently facing the disease or someone currently in remission.

I have a very ambitious (as in $3,700) fundraising goal to meet between now and December.

If you can help me get the word out and support my efforts by placing a widget on your facebook page, that would be totally awesome! It's easy to do:

Just go to http://apps.facebook.com/lls-fundraising/

On the right-hand side is the option to add the widget to your page in support of a friend. My fundraising page address to enter into the box is is

http://pages.teamintraining.org/nyc/wdw10/cmartzinek

Allow the application to access your profile, etc. and when it takes you to your facebook page, click the "keep" button to add it to your page. When it's done, you should see a Team in Training box on your facebook profile.

If you have a blog or web page and would be so good as to add a link like this to my Team in Training page, that would help tremendously, too!

My Latest Adventure... A MARATHON???

Yup, that's right! I've taken leave of my senses and signed up to walk a marathon. As in a 26.2 MILE marathon for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.

Between now and the weekend of January 10, 2010, I will be training to walk a full marathon in my favorite place on earth, Walt Disney World. I'll also be working to raise $3,700.00 to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am walking in memory of my late friend Cliff Gorman, who died from leukemia in 2002.

Please visit my Team in Training Page at

for updates, info and to make a donation in support of my efforts.

Anything you can do to help me get the word out, and raise needed funds in this challenge will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
