Donate to ABTA

On April 25^th I will be running the Path to Progress 5K in Chicago. This event raises money and awareness for the American Brain Tumor Association . This run will be in honor of my dad, who succumbed to brain cancer in October of 2007. Although I run a lot, this race will be to raise money and awareness against this crippling disease.

This will be my second time raising money for ABTA, having run the Chicago Marathon supporting them. I was overwhelmed with the response from family, friends, and strangers alike during that endeavor. From financial and emotional support, to hearing others stories, that race was in many way more than I ever expected. I can only hope this 5K will even go half as well.

I am also not about to ask random strangers for donations to a charity close to my heart while I do nothing. Besides my own personal contribution, all money raised through the purchase of DPP paintings in the gallery from February 1 until April 30 will be given to ABTA (I receive a small commission for every picture). If historical records are any indication, this donation will not be very large. But YOU can help change that. Just find your favorite DPP picture in the gallery and buy it. You get awesome decorations for your wall and ABTA receives money to help fight brain tumors. It's a win-win!

After the race occurs, I will publish the amount donated from those referral links.

Thank you in advance for your support, however you may express it.

After too long leaching off my alumni status , I have my own domain name (joesdiner.org) and real hosting. That might improve thing slightly (it would be hard to make it worse), and paying a couple bucks a month for hosting should motivate me to keep the site updated more.
