I'm going bananas in the fight against leukaemia

As I'm sure you all know, I completed my first marathon this spring. This fall, I'm running a half marathon to raise money for Leukaemia Research UK. (Their running team is known as the Banana Army. I don't know why, and I don't really understand it, but that's where the title of this post comes from.)

You may have already received a plea from me, in which case feel free to ignore our sadly neglected blog until Meg writes something new. Or, read on to find out how you can help...

I'd love to raise £300 between now and October 5, 2008, so I'm running a little contest. Details can be found at my donations page: http://www.justgiving.com/meganhall.

As of this writing, I'm nearly half-way there thanks to donations from Mom & Dad, Grandpa, Kate, Mikaela, and Meg. I've gotten commitments from a few other people that will definitely get me to >50% - but I can still use your help getting all the way there!

If you're inclined to support me, I'd be thrilled and honored. Even $1 will get you an entry to the sweepstakes! And if you should happen to find yourself in London on October 5, I'll be wearing a bright yellow t-shirt and would love to high-five you on the way to the finish line.
