If you are looking for a good cause to contribute your money to, there are a bunch of bloggers participating in a 24-hour Blogathon to raise cash and awareness for a particular foundation or cause of their choosing.
This Blogathon has been around for a few years, and it started this year at 9pm last night local time.
There are a few local bloggers involved this year:
pelf for the Eden Handicap Service Center [Pledge]
Edrei for the Association for International Cancer Research [Pledge]
Serge Norguard for UNICEF [Pledge]
Yee Pei for the Malaysian Mental Health Association [Pledge]
Ja Mustapha for MERCY Malaysia [Pledge]
Kelwin for MAKNA Malaysia [Pledge]
What you can do – Pledge money to donate to the blogger’s chosen cause, by clicking on the ‘Pledge’ button above and following the instructions that follow. Every little bit counts.
In particular, you may want to help Kelwin achieve his target of USD$400! I support MAKNA too, so i contributed an article to help in a small way for him… He needs 49 articles – one blog posting in every 30 minutes… not easy i tell you.
Go on then, do you bit if you can, folks. You have another few hours…
UPDATE: The Blogathon 2007 has ended, but the public still has 48 more hours to make a donation if they want to.
