One of my favorite bloggers and brightest lights in the cancer blogging community Keri, who is still running for a reason, and who blogs 500 Miles 2 Nowhere, has announced she will be blogging the Blogathon 24 hour marathon to raise money for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

Starting July 29, and fueled by coffee, she will blog every 30 minutes for a total of 48 posts. Why is she doing it?

"Because my auntie and our dear friend and my neighbor from out in Kinnic and Jodi's mom and so damn many others are fighting. Kids and adults and too many. Doesn't it seem like there are more now than ever before?

And I'm so very thrilled the strides that are being made and I want to be involved in all of those future strides by raising the funds that will pay for the research that is going to find the cure."

Keri doesn't say this but she is also doing it because she is a delightfully spirited and passionately fun woman who is always up for an adventure in doing anything to fight and beat cancer. She runs and runs and runs for those who have been diagnosed with cancer for the purpose of raising money for the research that will bring a cure.

Keri has promised to post photos and plans to visit various locations as a traveling Blogathon marathon blogger. I will be there cheering her on and checking in as she blogs for a worthy cause. Keri is taking sponsorship donations through ACS Relay For Life. Go here if you would like to show your support.
